         | But the way they ship systemD shim is excellent and only

         | 
         | SystemD and Gnome (and more recently mozilla) set the bar very
         | low on how to manage open source communities _after they are
         | stabilished by other people in the past_. Glad to see there are
         | still excellent examples out there with opinionated but
         | respectful engineering decisions.

         | done for me (like looking for proprietary drivers and
         | extensions, or just the right set of config choices in the
         | System Settings applet), and otherwise steps aside to let me
         | focus on my work.

         | Been using it since 2016, and I'm now in the verge of upgrading
         | to the latest, but I would be open to other Debian or Ubuntu
         | derivatives, if they bring an even better experience than Mint.
         | 
         | Opinions?
