    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?
