Happy Holidays to you as well. Paul, If you are enjoying Linux Mint, then there is no need to move onto anything else. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using Linux Mint if it is working for you. I used Mint for about 18 months back around Linux Mint 13. It's a great distro! I personally have jumped from a variety of distro's, mostly Fedora, Ubuntu, Ubuntu GNOME, Mint, Antergos, and Arch. I have landed on Arch and have stuck with it since February this year and don't have any immediate plans to change my default. While I still enjoy spinning up a new version of a distro in a VM, and sometimes on hardware, I don't feel the need to do that except for exploration and education. Don't feel that you need to try something different, or "more challenging" like Gentoo/Slackware/Arch/etc unless your in it for the self education. If what you have is working for you, then stick with it! > > > > > Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2014 14:03:52 -0600 > > From: mr.chew.baka at gmail.com > > To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org > > Subject: Re: [tclug-list] Manjero or Mint? > > > > On 12/30/2014 1:16 PM, paul g wrote: > > > Bob, I appreciate your input but someone that is let's just say > > > 'challenged' mentally such as myself could have bigger/broader > problems > > > with Slackware possibly.
