    I’ve been a Linux user since installing Slackware from floppy discs. These days I run Mint on my desktop/laptop and Ubuntu on servers. Does this make me weak?

      I started similarly with Yggdrasil, but quickly moved to Slackware, downloading floppy images on a 2400bps modem.

      These days I use Xubuntu on my desktops/laptops and Debian on my servers.

      While back in the day I (to quote Weird Al) “beta tested every operating system, gave props to some, and others, I dissed 'em”, I just haven’t got time to deal with all that any more.

        I was actually a Xubuntu user for a long time, but tried Mint with Cinnamon, and found lots of things much easier and more polished, while maintaining the lightweight feel that XFCE provided.
