I've tested over 40 Linux distributions over a long span of time, but I've never tried Mint. The reason being that all three times I've read something nice that inspired me to try it again the download hashes don't match, and we find out their servers were compromised. How's that going?

In 5+ years of OSS, only once have I even heard of hashes not matching and a build server being compromised, and it was fixed within 30 minutes. It was also a very big deal.

Basically, what you're saying and what a quick search on Google shows seems to suggest user error.

Lol, well there's no way I can "prove" it not having taken screenshots and archived them. It's been well over five years since the last time. I'll save you the humble boast, but no user error here regarding verifying ISOs.
