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.
