I don't use mint, but the serenity of a reliable platform to work on by far outweighs the boringness of the system.

My computer is a tool, not a hobby (anymore).

    I feel the same way on PoPOS. I have compiled my own kernel (it's actually not that difficult honestly) and done all matter of work at work. It's also how I know the system is super stable and I don't have to mess with things for my daily driver stuff.

    Mint is my favourite distro. Is everything I want from my computer.

    ... Except the Nvidia support. I need the actual proprietary driver for cuda and it's not the easiest of rides.

    (I switched to Nobara for better support and now the drivers memory leak. I need the courage to distrohop again)

    Debian with the mint UI. All of the debian memes, but none of the UI headaches!

    There's also LMDE which is mint built on Debian instead of Ubuntu. The Mint guys had the foresight to prepare for a future when they'd get fed up with Ubuntu's nonsense.

    For me it's everything but the HDR support.

    Same. I recently spent a few hours failing to either build gamescope from source or get the flatpak versions of gamescope and steam working together. Others got it working a few months ago, but their steps didn’t work for me and I just decided I’d rather spend my time playing without HDR than keep trying at it. Wouldn’t have been so hard on a disto better supported by gamescope.

    Except the Nvidia support. I need the actual proprietary driver for cuda

    As far as I know, the open-source driver supports CUDA now, as long as you're using version 560 or above and the latest CUDA packages. https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-transitions-fully-towards-open-source-gpu-kernel-modules/

    We've been using the open-source driver with workstation-grade cards at my employer for a while. The open-source driver didn't get full support for consumer-grade cards until version 560 which was only released around 6 months ago.

    EndeavourOS on my DD laptop with time shift in case an update wants to be a dick (or I do something stupid).

    Proxmox VMs for when I'm feeling saucy.

    Ain't no one got time for an unstable work machine.
