Re: This says it all really
Mint is lovely. Come the day Win8.1 is no longer supported I'm feeling confident (for the first time in 15 years) that there will be a shift in Microsoft's dominance of the desktop market, and the main stumbling block to attracting more users to Linux will finally be overcome, game devs will have a big enough target audience to aim their sights on Linux! :D
Who can argue with an OS that gives you these freedoms set in legal stone:
Freedom 0: The freedom to run the program for any purpose.
Freedom 1: The freedom to study how the program works, and change it to make it do what you wish.
Freedom 2: The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor.
Freedom 3: The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements (and modified versions in general) to the public, so that the whole community benefits.
