So kinda like linux but not linux?

what is bsd?

ive heard of it, but not really seen or used it

you can change fonts on ebooks?

…yeah it does break sometimes. Right now my grandma has it on her spare computer, which is a potato, and she said she didn’t know it was linux on there, even though I told her when I installed it. It’s mostly used as a bootloader for the browser, and it’s dual booting whichever windows and mint

It doesn’t always work, I agree, but for some people it does what they need.

If it’s broke, I will absolutely try to fix it anyways, but not on anyone elses stuff.

I have mint as a safe distro, so if I mess up my stuff trying to use a distro I’m not ready for, I can take 3 minutes(ish) fixing it and hoping I didn’t wipe the bios or anything else important off my computer when I tried installing arch with no clue how.

A lot of beginners (like me) use mint because it is very simple out of the box and user friendly. It just works (unless, like me, you try using commands from arch on mint, and you break it)
