Horse {they/them}

mint (or cinnamon specifically if you want to be annoying) by default has the equivalent to the start menu in the bottom left, exactly where it is on windows. the taskbar is along the bottom like it is on windows. the taskbar (on the surface) functions like it does on windows. the application menu is similar enough to windows that windows people can find where things are easily, because they are where they expect them to be. the default file browser looks and behaves (on the surface) like windows explorer.

when people say “like windows” they mean that if you are coming from windows things will be where you expect them to be and things will (on a surface level) work how you would expect them to work

Also the rise of immutable distros means that it’s stability isn’t as much of a selling point as it used to be

in my experience, most distros have become more stable over the years, closing the gap with debian
for example, i’ve only borked my arch install to the point i had to mess with it for 20 mins before i could get it to boot again once in the ~5 years i’ve used it as my daily and i’m not exactly careful with it

it looks like it’s a substandard phone with a mediocre gimmick
