From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Huh, I'm honestly shocked Mint is still a thing. It screwed me over so bad many years ago, I've been Windows ever since.
Would you take someone complaining about being "screwed over" by Windows XP seriously? Your complaint about Mint falls into the same category.
I'm not trying to convince you of anything. I was genuinely shocked that Linux Mint is still around. Haven't heard about it in years. You're free to not take that personal.
You made a completely uniformed statement as if it was still valid. You're free to take the fact you were called out on it personally.
Fact: I'm shocked Linux Mint is still a thing. Fact: it screwed me over in the past. I don't see how either of those statements can, by definition, be uninformed or not still valid. What are you trying to prove? I don't need you to validate my life experiences. Why are you acting like you need me to validate your life choices?
LOL! Apparently you do.
Elaborate?
He's referring to Mint gum. He choked on it.
Details are fuzzy at this point, but I believe it was a series of updates that kept having issues and finally one update that completely screwed up the machine, and in trying to fix it I ended up losing some important data. I was pissed off and got an MS Surface, and I kind of loved it, so haven't been Linux since.
