    I’ll give you 3d World because he jumps higher

    [–] smeg@feddit.uk 13 points 2 years ago

    He jumps higher in most of them, which is pretty useful in a game about jumping

    [–] jack@monero.town 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    He almost always jumps higher

    I prefer Green Ubuntu's minty smell.

    I love that the font is consistent. Someone went the extra mile for this meme.

    [–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    It's weird, because Linux users aren't known for being pedantic...

    [–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

    Nope, never...

    [–] KrankyKong@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

    I think they copy-pasted the individual letters from the other words. Impressive really.

    the promised ubuntu, ubutu if it was good even

    [–] Synthuir@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    So Debian is Wario, and LMDE is Waluigi?

    As a LMDE user, I’m okay with this.

    [–] Nimrod@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    What are the actual differences between Ubuntu mint and Debian Mint? I’ve been using the former for a while now, but I just started exploring plain Debian (and kinda loving it). All this talk about Debian Mint is making me get the distro itchy foot.

    [–] averagedrunk@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    is making me get the distro itchy foot.

    They make a powder for that.

    [–] kautau@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Do you apply it to the Arches of your feet

    [–] averagedrunk@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

    Goddammit, you brilliant bastard.

    [–] palordrolap@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

    Ubuntu is based on Debian anyway, so LMDE cuts out the middle-man so to speak.

    The release scheduling is different, as are kernel updates (I think. Haven't used regular Mint in years now) and anything specifically Ubuntu isn't there, not that I can actually point to anything specific there.

    If you've a particular distrust (however vague) of Canonical or aren't keen on their decisions about what goes into Ubuntu (and what doesn't), using LMDE might be worth a shot. Likewise if you just like to be different.

    For everyday daily driver business, there's not a lot to choose between them.

    [–] Nimrod@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    Thanks for the reply. Seems I don’t have much to gain by making the switch. I do like that most questions I google come with Ubuntu answers that are relevant.

    [–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    I've been using both for a while and from a practical point of view there really isn't much difference. I guess it all comes down to ideological purity.

    [–] Nimrod@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    That’s what I was worried about. I’ll leave it be for now. If I do end up distro hopping, I’ll probably try out something I never have.

    Honestly, it seems to me that there are far more tangible differences between desktop environments than actual distros.

    [–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

    When it comes to day to day user experience, that is certainly correct.

    [–] swab148@startrek.website 1 points 2 years ago

    All the Ubuntu answers will work for Mint as well

    [–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

    For everyday daily driver business, there’s not a lot to choose between them.

    Unless you have an Nvidia GPU cause LMDE lacks the neat driver installer (easy upgrade AND downgrade between driver versions). No Edge version with more up to date kernel either.

    Debian is Jumpman and Mint Debian is Luigi from the super show.

    [–] Barack_Embalmer@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    I have used Ubuntu as the daily driver for the last 10 years, because support and tools are widespread and easy, and I don't need any extra pain in my life. Drivers are mostly present and working upon a clean install, and in the one case where the touchpad wasn't recognized, it was super easy to find an ubuntu forum post containing a 1-line command to fix it. But everybody says i should hate it and use Mint instead.

    I'm open to give it a go, but in general, will most of the tutorials and fixes you find for Ubuntu also work with Mint?

    [–] illectrility@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 years ago

    Mint is Ubuntu-based so yeah, most stuff will work.

    But also: The only reason I don't recommend Ubuntu is because of Snaps and telemetry. If someone decides that they don't mind, I don't care. Everyone should just use the distro they like best

    [–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

    Green Ubuntu for the win!

    [–] heyfrancis@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    I've seen this same pic too many times in Lemmy

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago

    And before that it kept getting reposted on Reddit.

    [–] sagrotan@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Every time I see "green Ubuntu" I'm remembering me, 25 years ago, with another green Linux, Suse, with 12 cdRoms, trying desperately to install it on my ancient grey brick.

    [–] not_again@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

    You haven't installed Linux until you've done it in the original Klingon.

    [–] FartsWithAnAccent@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Hmm, this Ubuntu tastes kinda minty...

    [–] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

    It needs a little cinnamon.

    [–] yuki2501@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

    Oh hey I might switch to Mint, Canonical pushing things on me is making me uneasy...

    Linux Mint is killing its KDE Edition

    (sigh) Never mind.

    I mean, you can still install it

    Also, wasn't that like 6 years ago?

    [–] MaoZedongers@lemmy.today 2 points 2 years ago

    Sounds like you need some Cinnamon

    [–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

    Linux Mint hasn't had a KDE version sind Mint 19. We are on 21.3 Are you a time traveler? Also just try KDE Neon. Has as of now no snap nonsense and it's better than Kubuntu since the KDE version is up to date.

    [–] fallingcats@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

    Ubuntu Mate? Surely green Ubuntu is Ubuntu Mate
