You know the buttons at the top of windows to close, minimize etc?
On macOS they are at the top left. On Linux Mint they are top right.
I have been jumping btw those OS. Finally, I changed settings now in Linux Mint LMDE Cinnamon and moved them to the left like on mac. Very easy to change in settings.
Now I wonder how long it will take until I remember I have them up in the left corner.
@leadore :-) Yes, I also have moved the panel to the top. From Windows, I'm used to bottom but from mac at the top, so I decided to go for top. I am switching, or I hope have switched, to Linux as primary drive now finally a few days ago (still access and use the other OS). So far, I like LMDE, in fact, with Cinnamon on Linux Mint I cannot really notice any difference. I have had both Mint Cinnamon and LMDE installed for a while on another machine (and Mint Xfce on a cheap low spec). 1/2
@leadore I had decided to go for Mint Cinnamon on this primary machine. But I like Debian and their philosophy, and wondering what Ubuntu will do with deb vs Snap packages, so I thought I wanted to give LMDE a try. As I recall, Ubuntu is based on Debian (forgot the name) while LMDE is based on Debian Stable. I assume I may have somewhat older sw versions of deb from Debian compared to Ubuntu, esp later when Debian gets older, but I'll see and if it becomes any problem. 2/2
Yes Ubuntu is based on Debian unstable. That reminds me, the main reason I haven't tried LMDE so far is that I have several applications that I install via PPA, which I wouldn't be able to do (or would be risky/not work right) on Debian.
I hope you'll enjoy using Linux Mint as your main OS now. :)
@leadore Thanks, and I see. I don't have that problem with PPA. Beside deb, I have a few AppImages and FlatPaks. I suspect I may need more FlatPaks, but often fine with not the latest sw version for me. I also have a few Windows-applications via Wine/CrossOver. I'll see when I have installed everything and started to use, if LMDE works well. But so far I am saftisfied.
@hehemrin I also put the panel at the top of the screen. It makes sense to me--we read left to right, top to bottom after all.
BTW I use the standard Mint edition. How do you like LMDE? Does it work just as well (assuming you've tried both)? I was thinking of trying it on my laptop.
