RE: Using Linux Mint as my ONLY operating system: The journey thus far

Great stuff!

I got stared with Suse Linux in 98, it has been on an off with desktops & laptops, while webservers have been more continuous since 2005 or so.

These days I run a couple of Mint installations, including the one on this really old Macbook, it works when I manage the resources well!

I've also had some years on QubesOS, which is a super hardcore privacy tool where I can run a lot of virtual machines of all types in one screen. But that of course is complicated, so for creative things like this I'm very happy with Mint.
