Thanks! I guess something like vim would count as a TUI then.
What is a TUI? I haven’t heard that term before.


I think the only things I’m actively using is google calendar(which I would like to replace at some point) and youtube.
I guess my phone is running android, but I’m not much of a phone person so I barely use it.


Pretty good for me with Mint. Mostly audio annoyances and window manager annoyances. I hated cinnamon because it leaks memory like mad and needs to be restarted often. Now I’m using Mate, but it seems to have a lot of annoying quirks of its own.
Also I found that the compositor really messes with the performance of gaming, so I needed to turn it off which was a bit of a pain to figure out.
Other than that, everything has been fine, but I used to use Linux a lot 20 years ago so the transition wasn’t too bad for me.


I get a lot of weird audio issues in linux too. I don’t remember having those issues in linux when I was younger, but I’m often getting weird audio artifacts when playing games on Mint.
Its been a while since I’ve used it, and I don’t remember it being great, but more than enough to convert a SVG into a PDF reliably.
They work great in combination. I used to generate report pages by generating SVG with ruby scripts and then convert to PDF with inkscape and then use pdftk to assemble the pages and add stamps where needed. :)
I am at the moment, but I’m thinking of switching to XFCE.
I switched to Mate originally because Cinnamon always runs out of memory and starts slowing down over time. If they fixed the memory issues I’d probably prefer Cinnamon.
