[–] blargh513@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago (1 child) I use Mint. I don't do anything to it. I don't remember when I installed it, it's been so long. It just keeps updating. I'm probably doing it wrong. I don't know what pacman is. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BladeFederation@piefed.social 5 points 1 week ago* Have you done a major version upgrade ever? That's usually the only downside to stable distros, though Mint tends to manage them better than Debian and probably a few others I could think of. Pacman is the PACkage MANager (lol get it?) for Arch based distros. It would be apt for you. Or, you know, just Mint's graphical app store + update manager which I have never seen a reason to not use. permalink fedilink source parent
