Having to leave OpenMandriva; here's why

But I will agree that being the distro that is closest to Windows and loading it full of third party software and drivers has worked to the favor of Mint for those coming from Windows, need “Linux training wheels,” and/or don’t want to learn anything beyond how to open a browser, check email, and perhaps do some office work. Many people want exactly what they are acclimated to being familiar with.

FWIW, almost all of the people that I have “converted” to tux wanted as little change as possible. They want to do what they want to do and then get away from the computer.

And when you’re talking about a production machine (or more than 1), workflow is really important.There was just a couple threads last week (Hello From Texas! and Working with SMB shares and SMB shared printers). And thus far I’m still using mint on my daily driver desktop (OM on a laptop). Hopefully this weekend I’ll get to swap over

Then the laptop gets Qubes so I can play with that (https://www.qubes-os.org)
