It’s nice to see that their Debian edition isn’t being neglected. If I were to use Linux Mint, that’s the edition I would want.
In other words an edition of Linux mint is finally getting a feature Ubuntu has for every variant, good for them I guess?
What is a OEM installation? Like, I get it’s for OEMs but how is it different?
The OEM install option allows you to customise your installation a bit. Upon first boot the user sets up their account and user name and they’re good to go.
It’s like buying a new laptop and setting up Windows upon first boot. Just less shit.
That’s what I thought. I always wondered why that’s not the default. I’ve built some stuff for other people and I have to set it up for them along with the install…
Yeah it’s always a whole thing of steps and shit to get to something like that. Wish it were easier or just an option or something.
Because most people installing an OS on a device are doing it for themselves? I do think they should label the OEM edition as “Install for Family & Friends” as well though.
They can still install it for themselves. They just do the setup after the installation.
Maybe including something like Windows’ OOBE; rather than defining a user before installing?
