I hate to say it to you guys but Linux Mint is really just about the desktop and their initial setup of Ubuntu.

I personally care about unique and usable distributions:

  • Ubuntu (Really excellent foundation for a stable Desktop)
  • Debian (Rock solid but can be dated for Desktop)

There are unique distributions but not usable for doing work like programming full time and other things:

  • Arch Linux (I personally not comfortable updating this distro)
  • Gentoo (I am not high to actually use this distro)

Well, Mint also corrects some of Ubuntu’s mistakes. It doesn’t force feed you Snap, for instance.

Instead it hides snap and acts as if it didn't exist.

That’s usually good enough.

Mint is also a really stable foundation and comes with cinnamon mh preferred desktop and goes hard right outside the box for me

Hand has time shift installed by default so I just have to remember to set it up on install
