    And, for apparently the first time, I wonder. Does Linux Mint refer to the plant/ingredient, connecting obviously with Cinnamon desktop, the green theme, and inviting variations called Linux Peppermint and Linux Spearmint? Or does it originate from being Linux, in Mint condition?

    Perhaps, we can all pretend it’s the second one, and instead of *I use Mint, btw," our catchphrase can be, “I mint Linux, btw.”

      Pretty sure I’ve seen the mint leaf used before and the color green is used in the logo and theming.
