Except it *is* broke. 8 was broke when it was released. It was broke so bad they
abandoned 9 and offered free 10 upgrades (still available iirc) to 8 users.

It's wasn't that simple. Among such things as
marketing, associations with 8 and what not,
there was supposed to be a compeling technical
reason. Legacy apps, going back to Windows 95
and 98, would could have had driver issues as
pattern matching for "windows 9" might match
"windows 98". Something like that.

Windows is defined by this inescapable, choking miasma of black-magic
voodoo that seems to surround everything that you try to do with it, and
dogs its every step.

Windows users are like picnickers who can’t conceive of picnic spots where
you won’t be surrounded by a cloud of midges -- they think it’s a normal
part of the experience.

They think I'm retarded for doing the upgrade when my system is all
clogged up with crap that prevents in-place upgrading, so the USB
media does not wanna boot the live session, and I end up downloading a
whole different distro. But guess what, Mint isn't the only distro in
the fucking world, and I am enjoying the experience of openSUSE/Xfce.

It's bloatware, really, but far from as bad as Win11 or even Win10.

It may be different for a box with Windows on it but in my brief trial of
Mint it did not recognized the Fedora installation and wanted the whole
drive so I don't know if it would work for a dual boot. I haven't done a
sual in a long time but iirc Ubuntu was very helpful if you wanted to.

A beginner's distro needs to be bloatware. You can't expect a beginner
to know what he'll need. So you provide him everything and when he'll
know, he'll be able to use only what he needs.

When I first used RedHat, ~2000, I used the GUIs primarily, even though I
remembered a few UNIX commands from a computer class (PDP-11).

Eventually I found it easier in most cases to use the terminal.

When I discovered Linux, around 1995, Red Hat didn't exist (or I didn't
heard of it: I heard of it only later, once I had a Linux running).
There was only slackware easy to find (in France: remember, at that
time, Internet connecxions weren't as fast as Today). And there was
nothing very good to manage the files. I was neither convicted with
Midnight Commander and not real GUI program was available. So, the
terminal was mandatory.

> Eventually I found it easier in most cases to use the terminal.

Yes, I'm using the terminal too, but at the beginning of Linux it was
mandatory. Today it's optional. By now, a lot of things are easy to do
with a mouse without knowledge of what's happening behind the scene. So
beginners don't need/want to learn anymore. For example, renaming a file
is very easy with a mouse. It's no more difficult within the terminal
but you need to learn how to do it with a terminal, you can guess with a
GUI program. So, the mouse seems to be easier than the terminal.

But, if you want to rename hundreds of files, it's neither more
difficult with a GUI program than within the terminal. But it will be
faster within a terminal than within the GUI program in which you need
to rename all your files one by one.

Another really useful tool I like is "vidir", from the moreutils
package. It basically lets you rename filenames in a directory with your
text editor, and it is suprisingly super useful. I might install mmv
too, tho

There's also a couple versions of "rename". One let's you use a Perl regular
expression in the renaming command.

I don't see it from the perspective, although I could, I like Mint
because it's Mint, it gives you the experience of a friendly GUI under
Linux. But it's not something I *had* to have, to prefer Linux.

Once again, you take for you what's not meant for you. candycanearter07
said it's good for beginner. If you disagree you must explain why it's
not good for beginners. Not why it's not good for you. As you are not a
beginner, when he said it's good for beginner, not being good for you is
irrelevant.

I think the reason Mint is good for beginners is that it's like
Windows. But I used it as I would another distro, utilizing terminal
and all the usual things. I'm not that picky.

Funny, coming from a GuhNoo clown who had to plagiarize his example of
'find' from a 5-year-old stackexchange post.

Your plagiarism: <sa046v06uh@news3.newsguy.com>

"find . ! -empty -type f -exec md5sum {} + | sort | uniq -w32 -dD"

Me busting you immediately:
<eYMwI.37881$431.27991@fx39.iad>
<7YNwI.88920$AU5.7562@fx29.iad>

You stole your example from here and tried to claim it was yours:
