I feel like I’m missing out on the mint hype train tbh. I’ve never tried it before but there’s an ignorant part of me that’s like “how much better could it possibly be than Ubuntu with Cinnamon?”. I know it must be because so many people default to it and rave about it, even after using Ubuntu.
My default ol reliable used to be Solus Linux. God I loved that distro. I had an install that lasted 4 years straight, no issues whatsoever.
But in recent years I’ve taken a major liking to Bazzite. Oh my god it’s incredible: immutable OSs are fucking amazing. I shouldn’t be trusted with accessing system files, it never ends well. So this really helps.
Another vote for immutable here. I'm running Bluefin for almost a year and I absolutely love it.
My buddy asked me about options for his computer since it can't run win11, I gave him several, one of which was Linux. Gave him pros and cons. He took the bait. Been a week now on bluefin, so far so good.
I come back to linux with bluefin from windows. The concept is cool but I often found various issues with fx dragging/dropping files between apps or other interactions between apps due to the containerized approach. Had to switch because of this - mileage varies based on what apps you use. -> Opensuse but had issues with laggy YouTube the first time I opened a video, didn't want to deal with it (amd setup btw) -> cachyOS, freaking love it. Everything works, it's fast and the rolling arch style haven't broken yet
Now that you mention it, I have come across an issue or two like that 🤔🤷♂️
I had a peak at cachy after hearing so much about it, but never tried it long term.
Mint is my go-to for when I want something to get work done and don't want to fuck with it. Biggest gripe is the networking menu in Cinnamon kind of sucks for VLANs and it's still on X11 until they finish making Wayland stable.
