This reads like a paid advertisement for Linux Mint

It really does read like an ad, which is amusingly ironic since linux mint is free.

You're right, I should have put more of our personal story into it. I made some changes, thank you for the feedback :)

~~Who's~~ Whose mom is this that is using Lemmy and making Linux content? Definitely not my mother

I'm a 38 year old mom and I work in IT. I know, I'm rare :)

I have 18 people on my IT team and 6 are women.

Who's mom

OP is [a] mom, of course!

I do think you need that "a" after "who's", though.

I believe you and no offense, but damn, they weren't kidding:

  • Cinnamon – A Delightfully Familiar Desktop
  • User-Focused Simplicity
  • Robust Performance and Stability
  • A Wealth of Applications and Software
  • Community Support and Security

(I realize you're probably just a passionate fan, and I use Mint as well)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
