      Nah Linux Mint is a Kia Ceed.

      Ubuntu is a Ford Focus, they successfully stole the volvo estate market (Debian). The car was fun, good value and very practical. It was everywhere. Then Ford started increasing the size, weight, price, etc… killing the point of the Focus.

      So along comes Kia trying to make a competitor in the Ceed.

      In theory the Ceed is a great car, its super cheap, lots of cabin space, nippy, the inside has every modern convenance, but…

      • It plays engine noises via speakers that aren’t aligned with what you are doing
      • The boot space is rubbish, so 5 people can happily travel in the car you barely fit a suitcase in it
      • There is an steering sensitivity button that stays on at 70 MPH with no indication on the display
      • A Vauxhall Nova just out accelerated you

      Your left wondering why anyone is bothering with hot hatchbacks these days as you climb into your volvo
