My first experience with Linux was with mint (tried all flavors), and it was a frustrating mess. Unless you’re trying to revive your grandma’s 10 year old laptop Linux mint doesn’t feel like a good choice to me. Used Ubuntu after that and it was a lot better, although didn’t like the gtk ui.
Edit: maybe mint experience gets better when you’re more familiar with Linux, idk about that

How long ago did you try mint? (I’m not disputing your experience, time just adds a bit more context)
Distros are like cheese, some mature over time, some spoil. I first got into Linux around fedora 4, and it’s definitely improved since then.
Like two years ago, true that it might’ve improved since
