@ftranschel@norden.social It honestly saddens me too -- the last time I ran Linux on the desktop was about 10 years ago and the end-user experience hasn't much improved for people who run more than an email client and a browser.
(to be fair that's a lot of people, and Mint might work well for many of my colleagues and family)

@flup@mastodon.scot @ftranschel@norden.social I have a 22" monitor close to myself, and a Samsung TV as a second monitor the other side of the room if a want to use that for viewing YouTube Nebula etc = just works I upgraded to Mint 22 from 21 and that too just worked - remembering how to install anything on Red Hat (just before it split into Fedora for free versions) 20 years plus ago (for almost anything) and the need to manually download and install multiple dependencies using the terminal - I don't think there is any comparison with how it works today to then.
