      Just replaced Mint with Manjaro KDE on my work laptop and it runs so much better. So I’m not quite on board with your statement.

        I installed Mint on an old laptop with low specs and it ran very well in that context. I switched to Manjaro for my main computer because KDE and i have to agree. Manjaroo is also very easy to use out of the box.

      Don’t know about best, but it’s very convenient, accessible, and easy to install.

      If all someone is doing is browsing the internet or watching videos it’s the best linux distro from an ease of use perspective.

        If you’re going to plant it, plant it in a pot first, then bury the pot up to the lip. It will stay mostly contained and you won’t see the pot unless you’re right on top of it. Mint reproduces through runners as well as by seeds and the runners are so much harder to control. If you bury the entire pot, it makes it easier for the runners to escape, which is why you want that little bit of lip above ground.

        Chocolate mint is especially evil in my book because it took over an entire area of our yard and killed off my grandfather’s raspberries that had been growing for decades and transplanted to two new homes ending their long lineage.

      I managed to kill mint that was in a big planting pot. We had a very hot and dry spell and it just didn’t come back the next year. I was flabbergasted.

      Also in my new house, animals ate the mint all the way to the ground. Never had that happen before!

    What is it with humans and eating, smoking, or drinking any kind of leaf, seed, or other vegetable that has evolved a deadly toxin to avoid being eaten…?

      I think spicy food is eaten in Spain, in India and in Thailand, because the spice acts as a disinfectant, which removes all kinds of germs (and therefore diseases) from your body, which is especially important in hot and humid climates, because bacteria spread like crazy there?

        That’s a good point.

        Also, spices can hide the fact that the food’s gone slightly off due to improper preservation (at least until it comes out one end or the other in a ballistic fashion, but then it’s possibly too late to pass the blame), so there might have been a bit of that, too.

        Still, it’s funny how we love eating stuff that’d kill or seriously inconvenience most everything else.

        We are weird creatures indeed.
