10 REASONS why Linux Mint is the desktop OS to beat in 2023

  • From experience, ignore your instincts and give pure Arch a try. It's a lot more stable than you'd think, and their wiki has very thorough instructions for everything.

    It's a bit of a trial by fire on your terminal knowledge, but you'll learn a ton in the process. Worst case, you get fed up trying and just go to Fedora or something after.

    • Intel's New GPU Drivers Boost Performance Up To 750% in DX11, 53% in DX12

  • It used to be completely busted, but I've heard that support is getting better. Recent kernels and mesa have been updated to support them, but the Intel drivers are way behind what Windows gets.

    Non-gaming use could be fine, I'm planning on trying one myself soon.

    • If LED bulbs are supposed to last for 10 years, why do I still need to replace them every 9 months?

  • This is most of it. If they're facing up (typical lamp), they'll last for years. If they're facing down (ceiling fixture), especially with a shroud around the bulb, they won't last much longer than an incandescent. The control chip burns up if they get too hot.

    So just put cheap ones in the fixtures that'll kill them. You can get decent bulbs for less than $1/per.

    • HBO Max is removing features from my plan without reducing my price.

  • And as an added bonus: If I buy the blu-ray, I don't need to keep the massive 4k remuxes on my server. It's a win-win.
