i think i need to switch distros. not that there's anything wrong with mint per se, but it kinda treats its users like idiots. not as bad as windows but like. i need more control. looking at either debian or endeavouros (leaning more toward the latter)
cachyOS is one that i fuckin LOVE, gives you a bunch of options for desktop enviroments from the installer, and so far has done me wonderfully, treats me less like a dumbass LMAO (though it requires internet for the installer to work properly so the install isnt like 50gb LMAO)
I am trying to use Mint right now, since I support the project as a starting point for new users. But yeah, I totally understand wanting to be in the driver's seat. Debian is my comfort zone for that sort of thing. I got frustrated trying to mess with Arch and CachyOS and retreated back to Debian- and Fedora-based distros pretty quickly. Best of luck!
I kinda like Mint because *am* a bit of an idiot, at least when it comes to maintaining my system. I just wish Cinnamon's wayland support was more mature like KDE and GNOME. It's one area where Mint's conservative approach has been a little annoying to me.
there's actually a funny injoke with chinese trans lesbians and debian users, the joke (the best as i can explain it) is that an estrogen pill in china looks like the debian symbol? Just made me think

i will admit arch is a bit of a learning curve (please clap) so its understandible that people choose debian and fedora more :3

seconding debian and fedora. endeavouros is nice too
debian rhymes with lesbian so it's forever my pick

im probably going to fedora for hardware support. i really wanted to stay on a debian os and have been on neon for awhile, it's ok.
