tell me why i should use your preferred linux distribution rather than linux mint
@jk Fedora is good and I like the mix of stability and software from this decade (looking at you debian). Plus dnf is a real nice package manager.
Also, iirc mint is kiiiiinda lackluster about security? I remember reading about that but idk if the issues are still standing, but if you really like the mint interface there's prolly an ubuntu or fedora spin that's similar?
@StarshipAmelia @jk thought Mint IS an Ubuntu spin !? main security criticism was about not doing Kernel updates, if I remember correctly, and I think you can configure that in Mint Update Manager (or just use apt-get update instead)
@StarshipAmelia @jk right, Mint is not from Canonical, but it's using Ubuntu repos (with some additions on top), so it's pretty easy to consume Ubuntu security updates
@jk @numimyon This article seems to be talking about what I've heard, and says that it's been partially addressed, but still not entirely: http://www.techrepublic.com/article/linux-mint-18-improves-security-mostly/
