Mint? #212

Open tech-with-mo opened 3 months ago

Is there a way to install Mint instead of Ubuntu because I couldn't find anything.

thenameisluk commented 3 months ago

well in theory if u want to do it the hacky way i once added kali repo to my source files and my computer started thinking it's kali instead of debian :3

so in theory if u replace ubuntu repos with mint repos and do sudo apt dist-upgrade it should change to mint (it's very likely mint version should be higher than ubuntu)

yet u will probably have to install cinamon (mint desktop environment iirc) manually

sudo apt install task-cinnamon-desktop

should do the trick

but yeah it's a very hacky (but simple) way that might cause some issues

but

if all u want is the way desktop looks just install cinamon with command above ^ and set a wallpaper, it shouldn't really matter that much if u have ubuntu or mint repos in the background
