What makes you not want to use Linux anymore and maybe move back to Windows, MacOS, or TempleOS?

Fair point, Mint doesn’t represent Linux as a whole. I finally settled on Mint cause I didn’t like the look of stock GNOME and… I forget why I decided against using Mint’s KDE. Choose Cinnamon cause I was tired after distro hopping a bunch and didn’t want to tinker anymore.

I’m sure you can customize GNOME to look like KDE/Cinnamon, but if it just breaks in the next update or two I’d rather not go through the trouble.

I think I read somewhere that Mint is getting wayland support soon though? It’ll be nice if that fixes the crashing bug.

I think with KDE 6 there is hope. But I am currently having memory safety issues with Dolphin, the rest is working fine though, but anyaways doesnt feel nice.

And KDE is usable… Dolphin is such great software, although probably pretty bloated and somehow crashy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
