You'll never convince all of the crazies and uneducated and the self-serving, so you just make laws that force them to do the right thing. If we waited to convince all of the racists that people are people, we'd still have slaves. Instead, we just shot them dead during the Civil War, and proceeded to free the slaves.

Make laws that force people to 'do the right thing'. 'Shot them dead...'?

Not sure I like the future you are proposing!

What Mint offers : a pdf reader and picture viewers that use GTK 3 but with classic menu and tool bars. (known as the 'xapps', probably easy to get running in ubuntu and debian).

Ubuntu Mate 18.04, Default PDF application is Atril. Text editor is Pluma. Eye of Mate image viewer etc. All have classic menu and tool bar. Caja (same on Mint) is a decent file manager. The Mate Tweak application with its easy desktop layout switching is neat. Have found it a solid distro for getting sh*t done.

That being said, have used Mint in the past and liked it a lot too.
