Linux Mint 21.3: Empowering tech-savvy Moms with the Perfect Desktop Experience
Linux Mint 21.3: Empowering tech-savvy Moms with the Perfect Desktop Experience
As a tech-savvy mom, managing work, household responsibilities, and personal commitments can be overwhelming. Having access to a reliable and user-friendly operating system is vital in ensuring a smooth experience…
This reads like a paid advertisement for Linux Mint
I was not paid
It really does read like an ad, which is amusingly ironic since linux mint is free.
Who's Whose mom is this that is using Lemmy and making Linux content? Definitely not my mother
I believe you and no offense, but damn, they weren't kidding:
- Cinnamon – A Delightfully Familiar Desktop
- User-Focused Simplicity
- Robust Performance and Stability
- A Wealth of Applications and Software
- Community Support and Security
(I realize you're probably just a passionate fan, and I use Mint as well)
Yeah I was going to say this. Is this written by an Ai?
The start sounds exactly like an ad. Not how a normal person would write that they enjoy Linux.
But since the blog has other articles, I guess it's just how she writes.
Very cool writeup! I also love the rollercoaster that is your blog categories. We've got everything from free software, gun violence, deadbeat dads, and ... spaghetti.
For real though, great stuff! I'm always happy to come across legit oldschool-style blogs without a commercial agenda.
I am glad you like my blog :)
"I think we have really reached the year of the Linux desktop with Linux Mint 21.3 – Virginia."
And just in time, too--we're almost at the end of the alphabet! ;-) (I'm also a Mint user, since 2014)
this is a lovely article (so naturally I sent it to my mom)
I also have a tech-savy mom - and she's using Linux Mint too. :)
This article seems to be written by ChatGPT. Confirmed human author.
If you are indeed a real human, I am sorry. May I ask why you think Cinnamon is better for tech-savvy moms than something like KDE Plasma or Gnome? Do you think desktop environments more similar to Microsoft Windows are better for moms?
Don't get me wrong, I love Cinnamon DE, it is my second favorite DE (Xfce is my favorite). But I would think something like KDE Plasma is probably a bit closer to the Microsoft Windows user experience.
I am a real human but I read my post again and I can see why. I made some changes based on the feedback because it does seem like an ad (but I can assure everyone that it is not).
Gnome needs a bunch of extensions to make it look like Windows. I know KDE does a better job, and that Windows 11 might just be a rip off of KDE. However, most of the best apps are based on GTK and not QT. So for myself, I've been using Cinnamon for years.
I let my daughter try all three anyway and she actually liked Cinnamon the most.
I added some of this to my blog article so that future readers can get more background.
most of the best apps are based on GTK and not QT
As a long time kde user, what am I missing?
However, most of the best apps are based on GTK and not QT.
Yes, I couldn't agree more. Qt is nice, I use it in my professional work. But for me personally, Gtk is the best toolkit, and this is largely because it is programmed in C, not C++. Also, Gtk has the GObject Introspection framework which allows for other programming languages to connect to the Gtk libraries, so you can code Gtk apps in pretty much whatever language you like best.
And sorry for suggesting you were an AI.
Linux mint cinnamon edition is the simplest to setup and the most user friendly. I don't know if anything that compares to it.
...brings joy for my daughter who recently upgraded to GNU/Linux from Windows 7.
Okay, amazing writing (:
Interesting little article. It's funny that lemmy users thought it was an ad considering the subject is literally an absolutely free linux OS.
Irrespective of the article, you can still advertise free things.
Lemmy users will believe literally anything mentioning anything is an ad
Love seeing content like this, just regular people talking about why Linux works for them. Kudos, enjoyed the post!
