It is little bit more buggier but it may be the hardware and I can’t get it with xfce.
I don’t want to mess that deep in the system, just get it to my favorite theme and leave it be. So it is basically out of the box experience.
Which flavor did you choose? I am now rocking basic mint with XFCE on my older machine and LMDE on newer.
As someone using maps only for cycling and walking. I mainly use mapy.cz, they work well in Czech but can be clunky in other parts of world but EU should be ok. They have incomplete car navigation, it is getting there more of my friends use it now.
Othervise I try OsmAnd+ and Organic maps (osm clients) and it is good but mapy.cz are better in most cases.
I switched because w10 got too heavy for my old shitty laptop. Now I got new shitty laptop with w11 and will soon it will be cured by Linux.
My old laptop will retire as server.
The first one seems like bug on my laptop with Mint XFCE (happened also on Manjaro XFCE). When my brightness is set on lowest setting the monitor don’t turn on. I have to blindly log in and bump it up with hot key.
But I don’t know how common this bug is and lately there are lots of bugs because of s0 sleep in new hardware.
I have shity low end laptop. It was fine for w10 at first but each update made it worse. I tryed cleaning, reinstall… But then I installed Mint. It was amazing from unusable to snappy. I still use it and it is enough computing for me (browsing, office, watching movies…)
It is nice app but the problem is it doesn’t show Czech hiking and cycling routes by default. I didn’t figured out how to enable them.
