I use mint, btw.
(…Not really but it fits the joke the best. I have used it and it’s an excellent distro whether you are a beginner or just want something stable and full featured. )
Mint is such a pragmatic distro. Honestly I admire people who are just happy with their Mint and don't feel the need to distro hop to ever more esoteric package ecosystems just to feel alive
The only reason I stopped using mint is some of the programs didn't exist or were outdated. I'm about to settle at NixOS.
Edit: I ended up going back to my intermediary between mint and nix: Arch Linux
You could use nix on mint btw.
I'm slowly learning Nix, and I've learned that Nix has more packages available than any single distro could ever deliver: https://repology.org/repositories/graphs.
It even has more than AUR (Arch User Repository, BTW)
I use Debian everywhere but if I need a Live Linux environment to recover files, clone a drive, wipe a drive, or really anything else I use ventoy and a Linux mint iso.
I work in a PC repair shop (mostly Windows stuff) and I do the same with Ventoy and Mint. I especially like it for gParted but have a variety of things I use on it.
