    I have 2 monitors at different resolutions, works fine and my desktop/icon theme/etc is very pretty imo. I do agree that mint out of the box is maybe equally/sliiiightly less pretty than windows - but as soon as you change the shitty default wallpaper it is prettier imo.

    That is true about Adobe products. But fuck adobe. And if you need Adobe, then just dual boot.

      then just dual boot

      I believe it’s the best thing to do. Wasn’t there some problems with dual booting on mint? Something like updating windows wiping grub or similar?

        That is something Windows likes to do for funsies sometimes. The distro shouldn’t matter. Separate drives can help avoid it from what I’ve heard though.

          Not just windows, most linux distros do it too. People just don’t notice it that much because if you’re using Linux you probably let it handle boot already so nothing gets changed when it overwrites stuff.

            I mean yeah, it overwrites itself with the new version when updated. I have not seen a distro that by default overwrites or removes other boot partitions.
