      I’ve been considering putting Mint on my system, then adding the new version of Unity that Canonical doesn’t contribute to. Last time I used Linux was when Ubuntu finally had Unity working well and I really miss the HUD thing. Tapping alt to search the menus for the tool I wanted in Gimp was very nice.

          I have no idea. I wound up removing Linux from my system years ago due to Pulse/ALSA problems and going back to Windows. Not willing to pay a subscription for extended Win10 support, and I won’t touch 11, so I’m looking at moving back to Linux. Especially since audio is supposed to be better now.

            GUI is primary, a few clicks in the same app that you do your normal day to day updates in when a major release comes out.

            There is a command line version but the gui is a doddle, and there’s no driving reason to use the CLI - it’s a distro aimed at beginners
