If you’ve been thinking of switching to Linux, one of the options you
may have come across is Linux Mint. What is Linux Mint, though, and
should you use it?
What Is Linux Mint?

Linux Mint is an operating system (OS) that you can use to replace
Windows on your machine, though you could also use it alongside it. It
has much the same “feel” as Windows, though it’s a lot more intuitive
and also allows you to tweak many more settings to your taste.

Within the wild abundance of Linux distros—think of them as flavors of
the open-source OS—Linux Mint is based on the same architecture as the
much more well-known Ubuntu. It's maintained by a team of volunteers,
headed by French computer scientist Clement Lefebvre.

The focus of the Linux Mint team is very much on usability. Unlike
other Linux distros that leave you to figure out how to use them, Mint
offers a lot more handholds. This doesn’t mean you’re restricted like
with Windows or, worse yet, macOS, just that there are some guardrails
that let you get acquainted with your new OS.
Linux Mint vs. Windows: How Different Are They?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a reasonably well-written piece. I hope people will give it
consideration, if they're tired of Windows on aging PCs.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
