G+_Thomas Lambrecht Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Just got Linux Mint running a machine over here and it is pretty impressive. Definitely my new distro of choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Nick Webster Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 There is a PPA which has ADB and fastboot in it + all drivers. It comes in handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Roger Heim Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Sweet. I'm starting to plan a new PC with Mint to use for building Android itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Thomas New Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 No not all. It seems to have everything Ubuntu does but is much more user friendly IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Nick Webster Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Whenever I introduce someone to Linux from Windows I recommend Mint off the bat. I tried to learn off Ubuntu (10.04 was the first distro I tried, I got it 1 week after release!), but it wasn't until I tried Linux Mint 10 LXDE on and old computer that I really started enjoying Linux/GNU. Since then I've used Arch for a little bit after that, then I tried Ubuntu, loved it until I broke it so I took the opportunity to install Ubuntu Gnome Edition 12.10 and I love it!

G+_Ronald Wolf Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I am a Sys-Admin for a team of developers. Our machines are Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, but there are problems. The developers have always had Gnome 2, and only a small percentage wanted to switch to Unity. I've installed all of the machines with Gnome 2, Gnome 3 & Unity, But I make Gnome 2 the default so the users can choose. I know of 1 person who uses Gnome 3, to the best of my knowledge, none have chosen to switch to Unity. I've got two test systems out there, one with Ubuntu & Maté, and one with LinuxMint, Mate Edition. So far, both users are happy with the machines. I may switch this to be my default configuration.
