I bounced between them both. Decided on Mint with Cinnamon because it just works without fuss.
I like Arch because I love minimalist stuff and love having the latest software available. However, I always had small niggles where my Linux experience would fail me and end up spending time trying to fix it. In the end I booted more into Windows to just avoid it. I wiped and installed Mint at the weekend as I wanted to spend less time tinkering and just using it instead. I'm happy with the decision so far.
cinnamon is like the perfect middle ground. it's not as painful to use as gnome, not as buggy as kde, but it still has a ton of customization.
Yeah. I had a perfect gnome setup for myself, but then arc menu stopped working with dock to panel randomly and now wont turn on. No idea how to uninstall it.
I've been fighting kde on Kubuntu
fighting is a good way to describe it. i see why people like it, i just don't know how they can stand it. i would love it if it was as stable as the others. btw kubuntu lts uses a very old plasma version, it's probably going to be better if they ever finish updating it to 6.
Go for opensuse tw with plasma 😇then you have always the newest tested snapshot
