    I love Mint! It’s not for those who like to tinker and break and fix thinks, because it just works out of the box. External audio, Intel CPU, Nvidia card were no problems in my setup. Calling Mint a beginners distro is like a car mechanic calling a sleek, fun car that’s going smoothly a beginners car. I’m not part of some elitist cult, my OS isn’t my personality, I’m not a masochist and I don’t crave innovation just for the sake of it. I tried a couple other distros but none felt as polished and accessible as Mint.
    Be sure to use workspaces (strg+alt+arrows), I ignored them for too long because Windows doesn’t have them.

    This is a little offtopic and a Lemmy cliché, but:
    Go and try Linux Mint! I was a Windows fanboy for more than a decade, now I’m all team Linux. It doesn’t run all games (I’m not a huge gamer, so no expert) but most stuff i want to play is no problem at all. I edit videos with Davinci, produce music with Bitwig plus there so much great free open source software. Working in Windows nowadays makes me nervous. It’s so predatory and dishonest. Try to get off while you can, it won’t get any better. And it’s so much fun to explore a new OS with an opened mind and some curiosity.

    I’ve probably seen weirder, but this one was pretty funny:
    I rode my bike along a huge river in a big city in Germany. It was already dark and my light was broken. In front of me I saw something blinking brightly coming at me. As it came closer I realized it was a guy on a bike that had lots of lights and reflectors attached to both the bike and the guy. He wore a light on his helmet, on his arms and his thigh. As he passed by me he looked at me super grumpy and said:
    “How about some light?!”
