I’ve been using Linux Mint since forever. I’ve never felt a reason to change. But I’m interested in what persuaded others to move.

    I have liked Ubuntu based distros until they release a major update. They are aimed at beginners and they work fine for that. If you use one to the end of support, the updater will say that your software is up to date because there are no new updates.

    You have to check the website to find out you’ve reached the end of support, and to get instructions on how to update.

    That is an awful user expierence for beginnners, and a great way to have users using vulnerable software without knowing about it.

    I’ve switched to rolling releases for this exact reason.
