If Windows Software is described as a metaphor for a road we are all capable of traveling and its up to us to pick the car, then our choices go like this:
#1 - Microsoft Car: Super expensive, unreliable and breaks down a lot. Very costly to repair. Gets us into accidents and interferes with the tasks in our lives.
#2 - Linux Car: Uses such state of the art technology, that manufacturing costs are $0 so the car is given away for free. Money can be made from these cars simply by making them available for free to the public. Uses renewable inexhaustible energy sources. Capable of safely driving itself using GPS, uses radar and sonar to avoid accidents. If you do get into an accident, the materials its made out of is so durable that it suffers little to no damage. Thieves are welcome to steal this car because you can always get a new one in a matter of seconds. Covered by all insurances globally. Officially endorsed by most fortune 500 companies. If you need help with learning to use your car, technical support is free and available immediately -- regardless of where in the world you are.
So if Operating Systems were cars, which one would you want to drive?
The only issue I see with Linux Mint is they make upgrading a nightmare. They fear their own upgrade tool so much that they do their best to keep it a secret. They say "its better to back up your data and do a fresh install, because you might break something with the upgrade tool". Well -- to me this means you have to back up ur shit ANYWAYS so whats the harm in the upgrade tool? You run it and if it works, your configuration is in tact. If it doesn't work, its fresh install time.
But the whole reasoning behind their non-thinking makes no sense because if the result of the upgrade tool not working is a fresh install being needed, they are forcing a FAIL by DEFAULT by discouraging use of the upgrade tool.
Personally, the upgrade tool works fine for me (though i have not been able to find the tool AT ALL for the newest version of mint). I made a video as a demonstration of the tool: [link]
