I recently started using Mint after years on Debian.

I may be weird here, but it has quickly become my favorite distro.

It's snappy and super user-friendly, plus it's been de-Ubuntu-d. Out of the box Flatpak support is just nice to have, and Cinnamon is a sweet de.

    I've done my fair share of distro hopping. Mint is the distribution that I have to do the least amount of configuring starting from a clean install.

    It's the most stable distro I've used so far. Manjaro just seems like it's a ticking time bomb just waiting for borked o'clock to come. I couldn't get Nvidia drivers working on fedorat all. Ubuntu was just slow as ass. I don't know why. But it was just fucked from junk street. I've given it a go a few times. Just slow wet ass. Kali is snappy and clean but not meant to be a daily driver. Not would I use it as one.

    Mint works. It's relatively snappy. I like the gui. It's customizabe.

    Totally. Man I gotta try an updated mint and see if it will work for gaming. I miss the stability.

    As an anecdote, the only games that I play that require more fixing than pasting something into the launch options or using another version of Proton are VR games. Half Life: Alyx somehow works perfectly fine. Otherwise the devs forget to tick the box in their anticheat to allow Linux.

    Good to know!

    For now, I ended up reinstalling Nobara until I can test if Mint on 5.19 kernel has fixed the issue with my RX 6600.

    Nobara is great for my gaming so far. But wouldn't mind a more mainstream distro that has fixed some of the less common bugs I seem to always find.
