A lot of the pressure is due to people transitioning to Mint from Win10 without understanding that they're moving to an XWS system rather than Wayland. If you want Wayland, go with Arch/Cachy. If you want stability, stick with Mint and X11.

If you want Wayland, go with Arch/Cachy. If you want stability, stick with Mint and X11.

If you want Wayland and stability, use Bazzite.

Agree!
I’ve managed to convert three friends this last year. Two to Mint, one to Bazzite because he mostly games.

Immutable distro is perfect for him, just working out of the box.

Next «level» for him would probably be Fedora KDE Plasma, for sure not Arch.

IMO using a distribution within Distrobox is an alright choice to keep options open for stuff from outside Flatpak. I keep my SteamOS immutable.
