I’ve never heard of this before, and it sounds interesting after a cursory search online. Why the downvotes?

I’m in the same boat as you but haven’t figured out how to install different DEs yet. Did you find a good guide for installing/uninstalling them?

These are the most comprehensive lists of resources I’ve ever seen, thank you!

Never heard of FMHY or awesome before, what are they? Could you point me there too? Thanks!

Thank you for supporting your local library. More support to libraries!

Oof, memory issues are the worst. I haven’t tried Dolphin myself so I can’t offer much help there, but good luck finding a solution! I should give it a try sometime

Fair point, Mint doesn’t represent Linux as a whole. I finally settled on Mint cause I didn’t like the look of stock GNOME and… I forget why I decided against using Mint’s KDE. Choose Cinnamon cause I was tired after distro hopping a bunch and didn’t want to tinker anymore.

I’m sure you can customize GNOME to look like KDE/Cinnamon, but if it just breaks in the next update or two I’d rather not go through the trouble.

I think I read somewhere that Mint is getting wayland support soon though? It’ll be nice if that fixes the crashing bug.

Very specific - linux mint occasionally… crashes? Goes back to lock screen randomly, and closes all open programs. Very annoying to have happen when playing Beyond All Reason with 15 other people, causing the game to pause while I scramble to get back in (if possible). Haven’t looked into why too much, just went back to Windows to game. Mint for casual browsing and most else.
