You're just wrong on literally every point dude.

1. Nope, I've installed Linux Mint for multiple people, several different apps, never touched the terminal. I even updated the kernel all through the GUI.
2. Basically the same on all the most popular distros. Searching "startup" or "autostart" in KDE Plasma, Cinnamon, and Gnome DEs all bring up an easy GUI app for getting programs to start automatically.
3. Same as #1. You don't need to use the terminal to install most software, especially not anything popular. And guess what, you need the terminal to do hardcore stuff on Windows too. I know because I've worked for years in IT and have to use the Windows terminal for all kinds of random stuff, I literally had to use Powershell today.
4. This happens in Windows too. Just ask me how many times I've had to install old .NET frameworks or other random drivers/3rd party software to get some piece of software/hardware to work on Windows. Something that I thought would be a 10 minute install turns into an hour because of random shit not working right.
5. Bruh, I play Minecraft all the time. Hundreds and hundreds of hours. It's one of the easiest games to play on Linux. And I play with tons of mods, texture packs, and shaders. I've been playing Minecraft on multiple Linux distros for 4 years, it runs great.
6. All major distros auto-mount external drives. I have a whole bag of thumb drives, external HDDs, and SSDs that I use in my day job. Never had a problem with them not being picked up and mounted by any of the Linux systems I work on.

I mean, don't use it I guess, but stop spreading these obviously false claims, man. Have fun getting all your personal data farmed by a multi trillion dollar megacorp and fed into AI engines to churn out infinite heaps of sludge. Oh yeah, and all the endless popup ads in an OS that you already paid for...

Use Timeshift, use Timeshift, use Timeshift.

Same, it's saved my butt so many times. Once in the middle of a tech conference, I was messing around in the terminal with my networking and borked something really bad.

I spent 5 minutes trying to get my networking back but couldn't figure out what I had screwed up and ended up breaking it more.

I just went into Timeshift and restored to the beginning of that day and in a few minutes I was back up like nothing had happened.

Can't change your mind? I'll just downvote you then :)

I've liked Linux Mint for a long time, but it's quickly becoming my goto distro for everything.

LMDE for my business laptop, Ubuntu-based Linux Mint boxes deployed at my workplace, Linux Mint VMs in my home lab.

Workhorse distro 100%

You....you almost made me start scream laughing in my workplace bathroom...

I had to desperately stifle it and pretend to be straining to poop, thanks a lot...

Cinnamon has become my, "I just need to get work done" DE.

I'm fine messing around with Plasma for my personal machines, but for my work laptop, LMDE with Cinnamon. Super stable, simple, it just works.

Eli5: Wayland is a new way for Linux to make things appear on your screen, things like windows, graphics, and even your whole desktop.

The old way was called Xorg. It has been around for a very long time, and works pretty well, but the code is veryyyy messy and many developers wanted a new and easier way to make things appear on your screen, so they made Wayland.

(It's debatable how much easier Wayland actually is vs Xorg, but at this point most major distros are switching over to Wayland, so it's a moot point)

This is the kind of meme that makes me both happy and sad.

Happy becuase it's so funny, but sad because nobody I know personally would get it lol.
