Has anyone installed this Mint 16 XFCE? Junk. During the install it asks the user if they

[jtuck004]

want to replace
/etc/gnome/defaults.list > cancel/replace

How the hell is an ordinary user supposed to know how to answer this?

So I asked on the mint help chat, first person said "choose the one that is best"

Best for what? There's 7 pages of potential changes.

So I asked "What should I tell new users?" They said "Make the choice for them"

I choose to tell them to install something else. And I hate that, 'cause I like Linux, a lot. And I liked 15, a lot. But why would I tell someone to go try something that's going to generate a call b4 they even get to the first update?

I find it hard to believe they released it like that. Windows sucks, but grandma can install it without having to know the differences between 7 pages worth of strange-sounding programs. And back in the 90's I watched user after user, who would have been better off with Linux, go to Windows because it was easy to install and get up and running. Before it crashed.

It's like they purposely want to keep a first-rate program in a second-rate position...

Does Mint 16 Cinnamon do the same thing?
