Linux Mint is Brilliant
- by Simon Moon
Most of my blog posts sound way too whiny. I'm not that guy. (Am I?) I've
been using SUSE-flavored Linux for personal projects since 2002 (SUSE
Linux 8.1). This past weekend, I made the heart-wrenching decision to
abandon openSUSE (version 12.1) in favor of Linux Mint (version Maya).
OpenSUSE had just become too burdensome. Packages that installed easily
on RedHat or Debian always had issues running on top of OpenSUSE. And I
never could get the Heroku Toolbelt installed in any kind of usable
state.And so, ...I'm beginning again with this
enticing young thing -- Mint with the Cinnamon window environment.
Delicious. And while I'll always have fond memories of my years with
openSUSE, I've got to admit that Mint makes running Linux feel good
again. http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=2031
