I'm back for the long run to Linux Mint.

After coming back to Linux Mint about a month ago back from Ubuntu, I've decided to stick with it from now.

Ever since Linux Mint started using Cinnamon as it's desktop environment, I've been a big fan of it; though I liked Ubuntu's Unity shell a bit better since it did a better job for me.

I've never really liked GNOME 3 all that much, I simply don't finish to feel comfortable using it. As such, Ubuntu going back to using it was an issue for me and one I'm not really willing to live with after about 3 months of using it daily.

Although I can install both Unity and Cinnamon on Ubuntu, its an extra step I'm not willing to make. Also, I had some bad experiences with Ubuntu breaking my Cinnamon install with each upgrade.

Finally, Linux Mint has been one of my 2 favorite Linux distros ever since I started using Linux. So, I see no reason to keep distro jumping when there is no good reason to do so. Besides, when Cinnamon 4 comes with Linux Mint 19.1 Tessa it'll make it even a better option for me.

What I'm looking forward the most is this:


It might not be much, but for me is one of those little details that'll make Cinnamon even better for me. And being able to set it so out of a box is something that'll make my experience all that much better.

Linux Mint is now my favorite distro, with Ubuntu on the second place.
