    I hate to say it to you guys but Linux Mint is really just about the desktop and their initial setup of Ubuntu.

    I personally care about unique and usable distributions:

    • Ubuntu (Really excellent foundation for a stable Desktop)
    • Debian (Rock solid but can be dated for Desktop)

    There are unique distributions but not usable for doing work like programming full time and other things:

    • Arch Linux (I personally not comfortable updating this distro)
    • Gentoo (I am not high to actually use this distro)

      Well, Mint also corrects some of Ubuntu’s mistakes. It doesn’t force feed you Snap, for instance.

      Mint is also a really stable foundation and comes with cinnamon mh preferred desktop and goes hard right outside the box for me

      Hand has time shift installed by default so I just have to remember to set it up on install
