I've been middle-manning the acquisition of a lot of Linux Mint machines, lately, for grad students who mostly use Windows or Mac. When I used to send them Debian-only machines, I'd get a lot of questions about mundane stuff like wifi or whatever. Now that I'm sending Mint machines, we jump straight to questions of how to install R or the latest Java.
So, I'd say Mint is a decent option. On 7/19/19 11:31 AM, Ron Newman wrote: > I think I know the answer already, but I'll ask anyway.
