Look I use all 3 OSes almost daily. I just don't like talking about them. They are just tools. No I don't want to spend my weekend configuring a window manager. No I don't want to talk about the latest OSX update. I just want to do stuff and the OS is just something I have to use sometimes to do that stuff.
In that case Mint would be perfect for you.
This response is perfect and I don't know if it's supposed to be a joke everyone is missing but me, or if it's 100% serious and I read too much into it.
There's comedic genius in: "I hate talking about Linux, it's just a tool" "In that case here's a distro recommendation for you"
It was actually a bit of both, a joke and an actual recommendation.
In fairness though, Mint would actually be perfect.
Ogres have run-levels.
It's not a family it's a cult.
Shit I mean it's not a cult it's a cult.
I mean... Fuck it, your family.
As someone who also uses the three major OSes often, Mint is a great choice. Fedora has been working nicely for me as well.
Agreed. It works better out of the box than windows ever did. When I bought my most recent PC, the only post-install stuff I did was solved via apt-get, and after 10 minutes I had my favorite games up and running flawlessly.
I can't speak for OSX, though. I still to this day have no fucking clue as to how I right click on a macbook.
Right click on a MacBook depends on how the user configured it, which always trips me up whenever I use someone else’s. The default behaviour is a two-finger click, but it can be changed to single-finger clicking in the bottom-right corner instead. You can control+click too with both configurations, but that sucks
I also don't like installing OSes on my free time also like I said I use all 3 OSes almost daily. I have Linux already...
All three? Linux, FreeBSD, and TempleOS?
Um actually it's macOS now
