Glad to hear it. It was my first distro and never failed on me, so it's good to see they're going in a wise direction. I love the idea of containerized programs, but the way Ubuntu is doing it is hostile and anti-open source.

Yeah I also am a fan of mint.

I had it on a hot-install USB stick, and a laptop would boot on to the USB stick with default OS settings with nothing installed. And everything worked perfectly every time from the default install with no changes, it was impressive. I used it like that for months.
