      Mint is ugly and they are way behind the n Wayland adoption. Their updater annoys me because you have to double-shot it by updating the update then running it again to get the updates the old updater couldn’t install.

      Otherwise it’s fine.

      Explore fedoras options instead, in particular the KDE ones if you are coming from windows.

        There are subjective reasons to not like Mint just like there are for every distro.

        I, personally, would not use Mint. But it’s great for a lot of folks.

        Mint is a glorious debloat of Ubuntu with several extras and are strategically wise in having LMDE ready and in production. They fill a very important role as an user-friendly not-DIY distro suitable for someone completely unfamiliar with Linux. I wouldn’t describe Fedora that way. It changes too fast for that use case and compared to Mint comes with not much preinstalled.

          I have to disagree. I have elderly users on silverblue and kinoite. I have only two on mint. It works for them so whatever.

          The KDE distros have a sort of windows vista and XP had a baby and they only got the best of both of their parents kind of thing going on.
