Linux Mint is non-free
There may be no doubt that this distribution of computer programs are convenient but it contains user subjugating programs. It should be avoided by those that value freedom.
I would also like to remind people that any general purpose computer program system will be inadequate to somebody; that is the nature of general purpose systems. Assuming the system is free, it is therefore up to the user to initiate changes as the system will not change itself.
