What went wrong with Mint?

Why'd it suddenly get dwarfed by Manjaro?

Dunno.
More up-to-date packages?

Manjaro is basically Mint with another base and updated packages.
I still prefer Mint tho.

>What went wrong with Mint?
cinnamon
it's shit
they should of went with kde

>they should of went with kde

You can only tout anti-semitism for so long, before all capable maintainers jump ship and you're left with only jew hating sandniggers (aka french algerians).

Mint was proven to be a spying botnet ridden with hidden telemetry, no better than fucking Shitdows 10. It's a meme distro now.

mint is still really popular, I guess manjaro is just something new and fresh

they dropped it after a bad implementation. the devs dont seem to understand it very well, last i heard they had to ask the kubuntu team for help on it.

It didn't. But Mint is shit compared to Ubuntu.

Ubuntu is shit compared to gentoo
oWo

>using a distor twice removed from the parent that's better in any regard but initial setup defaults and that's only a plus for people new to lonix distors. Hell, even that is debatable.

Wasn't there even some distro based on mint?

I never understood the appeal of Mint compared to Ubuntu, but after experiencing the mess that is Ubuntu 18.04 and giving Mint a try again it's pretty comfy and snappy, although it looks a bit dated.

No one uses either of those shitty distro, they're both memes

>Ubuntu 18.04
Of course GNOME is shit. The flavours are better.

He won't post any, like always.

Enjoy your buttmad, Mintfag kiddies.

so that means that mint is better then

>dwarfed by Manjaro.
I don't think you kids understand how distro watch works...

Again, this was related to the homepage drama they let happen. It's even in your fucking link.

short answer: technically inept people are more impressed with manjaro's appearance.

>using a distro run by incompetent people
wew lad

Mint Cinnamon isn't, because cinnamon is a GNOME skin. "Ubuntu" isn't worse, Ubuntu is a set of distributions. If you want to be exact then ok, Kubuntu and Xubuntu are better than Mint KDE/Xfce. Mint itself is shit as a BASE compared to Ubuntu.
So, no, it doesn't mean Mint is better.
