<div dir="ltr"><div>Currently, I run Linux Mint 22.2 XFCE Edition on my main desktop PC, 2 laptops, and a couple of mini-pcs for home theatre.<br>I started using Mint a very long time ago, and I just stuck with it, as it has the standard apt package system, the UI with XFCE is pretty clean, and for the most part, the OS doesn't get in my way.<br><br></div>I game using Steam and Proton, using AMD GPU drivers, and the kernel is pretty up to date. I have details on my PC build here:<br><a href="https://www.linuxtek.ca/2024/04/08/after-12-years-new-desktop-workstation/">https://www.linuxtek.ca/2024/04/08/after-12-years-new-desktop-workstation/</a><br>When I had an Nvidia GPU, I had to go into the driver settings to install the latest versions occasionally, but that wasn't a huge deal.<br><br>I did test out Fedora when I first built the PC, but I really had issues with GNOME and Wayland, and eventually switched back to Mint after I borked my install.<br><br>I do have one mini-pc I've been using NixOS on, but it hasn't really been beneficial, and I'll probably standardize on Mint and build some config scripts to keep everything maintained.<br>I would probably switch to LMDE as I'd like to be independent of Ubuntu as well... I use the occasional AppImage and Flatpak but I try to get everything done through apt if possible.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Jason</div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Nov 26, 2025 at 5:46\u202fPM Khalid Baheyeldin <<a href="mailto:kb@2bits.com">kb@2bits.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">Another vote for the "No GNOME" desktop.</div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">In my case, it is XFCE, from Xubuntu's 24.04 LTS.</div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">It has been in use for many years, on laptops, and recently on a mini PC connected to the TV.</div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">Very usable, and stable. </div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">Never understood the appeal of Mint nor Zorin ... </div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">But that is me ... </div></div>
