    This is a pretty good start to make Mint (Cinnamon) look better.

    Its basically mall built-in tools.

    I ended up just putting icons in the middle (to prepare for works Win11 enshitification).

    I also put a user button near the time to allow shutdown and removed the god awful power icons from the start menu (or whatever the app launcher is called).

    Theres also an extend thin for a bigger start menu more like a grid but thats personal preference.

    I think mint should do some of these things so its not so off putting. It held me back forming for so long but IRS much better.

    I prefer mint over fedora. Fedora dosnt seem to have as many apps in the store. Yes you can use a terminal but thats not helping linux become mainstream, mint is.

    +1 mint also prompts new users to setup timeshift backups.
















  • Premiumize. I dont fully understand. But they have server farms thst will download your torrent, and then you download the file from them. Its faster and your IP doesn’t see it as a torrent. You also dont have to leave ypir PC on if there’s only one seeder. If somone else has downloaded thst torrent before its already in the farm and you visit download it from them.

    However the main thing is they integrate into Kodi and my new fave Stremio. So you can just stream anything anytime without all the torrent stuff I just mentioned.

    Endeavour IS is arch with KDE and a few basic apps. Pretty sure you dont need WiFi to test it. For any issues you can just use the arch wiki. I really enjoyed it as first distro as the wiki is so helpful. I moved to Mint tho (not DE) and have loved not having to use the terminal for anything.
