Unpopular opinion: Linux Mint sucks ass and there are so many great distros to choose from, which aren't Linux Mint. It looks like Windows XP and functions like Windows XP. Still uses X11, which doesn't even have proper support for 1:1 touchpad gestures and handles multiple displays with different scaling factors and refresh rates in a way that is, well, hacky and janky at best or non-functional at worst.

I get that Linux Mint is easy to use because it's made specifically to be as convenient as possible to users coming from Windows but jeez, it looks and feels like something from 2005, especially on a laptop...

Linux Mint might look outdated but it's stable as hell. Especially LMDE. Any time I mess around with arch/arch-based derivatives or any rolling release distros I'm quickly reminded why I chose to run Mint as my primary OS. I'm long past my distro hopping days so having something that works without question and doesn't require any mucking around is huge for me.
