ciemnogrodzianin: I use Linux Mint Tessa 19.1. I've tried to look for something else, tried a few distros after dropping Mint Sarah, but for me nothing can beat old good Mint with Mate desktop. It's just perfect. No issues, no problems, no conflicts. Just work out of the box and provides great performance and configurability for even a few long years. I love Linux Mint and I really believe it's the best OS on Earth at the moment :D

DadJoke007: How I regret not going with Mate or XFCE instead of Cinnamon. Even if Cinnamon is more than capable to compete with Win 10 (and then some), the no-bullshit approach to Mate and XFCE seems much more appealing to me since I don't care about looks at all.

adamhm: Linux Mint 19.2 was released late last week with a lot of nice improvements and my beginner's guide for it was updated on Monday, so I think it's time for a small giveaway :) All games in this giveaway are GOG games and run on Linux either natively or via my Wine wrappers.

Once again I would like to encourage anyone who's interested to take a look at my guide and perhaps consider trying Linux Mint. It's a great time to use Linux; it's easier to use and better supported than ever, with more & more games now coming to Linux. And as the Linux userbase grows so too does the incentive for hardware manufacturers and developers to support it, leading to even better support as time goes on.

And for those still holding out on Windows 7, there are less than six months until extended support ends and if you don't want to be forced onto Windows 10 it would be better to start looking into Linux sooner rather than later, so that you can learn and ease into it at your own pace rather than end up being rushed into it.

So, for anyone curious about Linux I invite you to take a look at the guide and consider trying it: Adamhm's Linux Mint Beginner's Guide/post1
