It works, it just fucking works, no upselling, no AI bullshit. Just a functioning OS

I am trying to use Mint Linux. It does not just work.

I am not against lunix, but you do need to dedicate time and effort to learn how to get it to do what you want it to.

It has not been an out of box experience for me. In my case, I am running into a GPU issue where installing Nvidia drivers makes the OS boot in safe mode and I have to restore to a previous state from the timeline to get it to boot normally.

Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions! I appreciate that I got these responses from this community instead of a negative dogpile!

Edit2: Hearing a lot of pop_OS suggestions, might give that a spin if I keep on running into Mint issues.

Same here. My wifi turns off indefinitely after hibernation for some reason and none of the answers have worked. Even the installer had a few bugs that have been there for years. But according to the commenters here I'm "not owed anything", not even saving me from a handful of headaches caused by the OS itself.

Yeah. I had this problem. I ended up switching out the WiFi module for one with better Linux support. (In my laptop it's just a little m.2 thing).
