    He's a Mint fan, an easy transition perhaps?

    Sorry, hate it, I started off with Windows 95 through to XP, first Linux distro I used was Mepis. Desktop for me has to be taskbar on the bottom, start menu to the left, nice clean uncluttered desktop and not this bloody awful tablet look.

    One thing I would say to our friend is that he/she might have to settle for a distro that likes the PC. Just because its Ubuntu based [like Mint] it doesn't mean it will run as well as Ubuntu or another derivative, same with all of them, its the most frustrating issue with Linux. I am running Mint and it works perfectly on my PC, my distro of choice, MX was rejected by my PC. Its the PC not the distro that's the problem.

    Exactly! I hate the tablet look in ubuntu. Mint not only has start menu to the left and nice clean uncluttered desktop, it also has most settings and features similar to windows which makes it the most easy to use linux based system. the inbuilt media player and PDF reader is also easy to use and plays all types of media files. I would say, anyone who wants to switch from windows to linux should start with linux mint, he or she will never switch back to windows.

    Although, my first choice was Ubuntu(because most modern day laptops support ubuntu and many laptop vendors like Dell, actually ship laptops with ubuntu) only thing i like about ubuntu is graphics. Functions and UI wise mint is the best. Tried centOS, RHEL, kali(also backtrack5r3) on old laptop as my new laptop does not support them anyway and none of them were as good as mint UI wise.

    I don't think Linux is for me so I've wiped Mint off my machine.

    Linux Mint v20.0 displays a blank screen if I don t have monitor turned on before I boot up computer. The Dell logo appears, then blank screen. (I use a 60" tv as a monitor). I can still enter decryption password, and then the normal login screen appears. If I have tv on before I boot up it works as it should. Has anyone ran into this? I m not sure if this is a problem with my configuration, or just a bug/limitation of Mint.
