        I wish eventually it’d become the he facto version. But Debian is so slow to update. Apparently kids these days get anxious if they don’t have a system update every other hour and they buy new hardware every weekend. So Debian is too old school to be useful to them.

    I get it but I picked Mint not only for my recommendation to new users but the platform I advocate the most for on my YouTube channel. For anyone who isn’t computer savvy there isn’t a more straightforward and easy to use distro. If we want to grow the Linux community we have to be open to users with extremely limited knowledge regarding computing in general.

    This does mean hand holding people through a setup even if there is a guide available. That’s my goal with my channel. To spread FOSS awareness and to show people how easy it is to make the switch to an overall better computer experience.
