In this video, I reveal why Microsoft ended Windows 10 support in October 2025? The answer is simple: they want to rob you of your digital sovereignty. They won't be happy until each and every one ...

  1. Very true
  2. Wayland still has a lot of problems to iron out, and that's not something that will fly with most people as a Windows replacement.
  3. KDE and Gnome are bloated messes that have 29394 ways of doing anything, but not everything, which causes frustration in new migrants. They don't want 12 different apps that each can do 70% of the possible options- they want one app that can do 100% (and isn't terminal). Familiarity with windows is also a plus to them, as a migrant.
  4. Again, familiarity is a good thing for a migrant.

You're looking at it from the perspective of 'is this the distro that has things I want' which is, not to be rude, completely useless to the person actually migrating from windows.

All those things are nice for people who care about them. For people who just want their computer to work with minimal hassle, Mint is a great option.

Exactly.

Quite frankly if Wayland isnt good enough now it never will be, also Gnome and KDE both objectively have more GUI apps than Cinnamon.

I still have daily issues with Wayland on Bazzite, so yikes.

Also, that's my point- Cinnamon has one way to do it, and the doco all reflects that. GNOME/KDE each have 50, and the documentation tells you to use one app for this, another app for that, a third app for the other- it's all kind of a mess for a new user that just wants their OS to stop being a barrier for whatever they want to do.
