    Mint users make it sound like the distro will literally suck your dick. It’s a cult at this point. Forums are filled with issues (which is normal obviously) but nope, “it just works”. When it doesn’t then that’s too bad because as easy as it is to find a vocal Mint user it’s much harder to find one who knows anything about Linux.

    They should have named Fedora something like “red hat personal” or anything else that doesn’t sound like only smelly neckbeards use it and maybe that would be more popular but here we are.

      Bit of selection bias.

      Car shops are full of cars that have problems. Why would you be at a shop if you didn’t? Same with forums.

      I believe Fedora was named that before the association with neckbeards was a thing. It’s hard to believe, but back before the 2010s fedoras were mostly known as the cool hat Indiana Jones and old timey detectives wear rather than the stupid looking hat slobby idiots trying to look cool wear.

      Yeah I have found driver issues with mint (particularly with WiFi cards) where Ubuntu doesn’t have a problem
