    11% month on month expansion is fucking crazy. You can see from the data it’s mostly Windows 10 users deciding to upgrade to Linux…and even OSX.

        How is your idle VRAM (video RAM) holding? For some reason i have 1GB usage in Mint with Cinnamon without anything running, while on windows i have 400MB (although i have optimised them a lot).

          I’m not sure. I’m a photographer and comic. I switched to mint cause it’s easy, I’m not much of a computer person.

            Did you find mint easy? I am a bit of a computer person, and I’ve been struggling a bit with it

              Effortless. My only issue with it was installing Plank Reloaded.

                I’ve been struggling quite a bit switching file managers. Nothing is fully satisfactory
