I have used every Linux distribution for the past 20 years. I stayed with Linux Mint because it’s up to date, pretty but simple, and reminds of Windows 98/2000, i.e. no fluff.

A good reminder that most versions of Linux now have a live ISO version that doesn’t require you to install it and destroy your computer in the process.

There’s also this if you want to do simple tests for a lot of different distros

This is awesome. I’m definitely going to use this to try out various distros even though I’m happy with Linux Mint. Thanks for sharing!
No problem!
