# ⚠️ DISCLAIMER (a.k.a. “this is probably a terrible idea”)
|
||||||
|
#
|
||||||
|
# This script attempts an in-place “Ubuntu → Mint-ish” conversion by mixing
|
||||||
|
# repositories and swapping in Mint desktop tooling while keeping Ubuntu as the
|
||||||
|
# underlying base. That is, objectively, kind of dumb.
|
||||||
|
#
|
||||||
|
# It is NOT supported by:
|
||||||
|
# - Linux Mint (they will laugh, politely)
|
||||||
|
# - Ubuntu (they will shrug, then point at “apt policy”)
|
||||||
|
# - Your Corporate IT / Security team (they will revoke your badge)
|
||||||
|
# - Any sane compliance program, MDM, EDR, VPN stack, or audit checklist
|
||||||
|
# - Anyone really. Ever ever ever.
|
||||||
|
#
|
||||||
|
# Things that may explode spectacularly:
|
||||||
|
# - Display managers / login sessions (hello TTY my old friend)
|
||||||
|
# - Kernel modules, drivers, DKMS builds
|
||||||
|
# - VPN/SSO agents, EDR/MDM enrollment, certificate chains, PAM stacks
|
||||||
|
# - Package resolution (APT will happily “solve” problems by removing half
|
||||||
|
# your system)
|
||||||
|
#
|
||||||
|
# If you want Linux Mint, the correct solution is:
|
||||||
|
# ✅ BACK UP YOUR DATA → ✅ CLEAN INSTALL MINT → ✅ REINSTALL APPS/AGENTS
|
||||||
|
#
|
||||||
|
# If you insist on doing this anyway, do it on a VM first, take snapshots, and
|
||||||
|
# accept that the most reliable rollback is “restore from backup.”
