    the only objective problem mint has is that it’s so good I struggle to get people I convinced to install it to be interested in other distros and stuff. And that’s fine.

    Mint is a solid choice and the one I recommend to anyone who just wants something that works or doesn’t care about having several choices, and even when someone wants to explore more options I always include Mint. It just works, it’s easy to install that even my non-tech savvy mother on a phone call with me managed to install it and Cinnamon has just enough customization options ootb to make it yours without being overwhelming to a noob like KDE.

    I personally don’t use it cause I am not the biggest fan of using GUIs, debian derivatives and I prefer KDE plasma so I just go with other options (currently Fedora 40, been using Arch and NixOS a lot before this), however even in my case I could most likely turn LM into what I want with some effort (I just don’t see the point in doing that), and my father who has been using Linux since Kernel 1.0 and is definitely a power user swears by it.

      Mints biggest crime is not having a Mint-Y dark mode despite so many people asking for it if you Google.

      Best theme, bright mode only. Criminal.
