They promised Linux Mint could replace Windows—here’s 3 ways it falls short

Linux Mint is probably the most recommended Linux distribution for people switching from Windows, and for good reason. It’s beginner-friendly, the layout feels familiar if you’re coming from Windows 7 or Windows 10, and it ships with enough graphical apps that you rarely need to touch the terminal. I’ve used it myself, recommended it to plenty of people, and some of them actually made the switch. That said, there were also others who kept telling me that Mint was no Windows.
