<3 mint, it.just.works.

I just lost my OS again (probably corrupted drive) and was planning to distro hop. Unfortunately, I suspect you're right.

It's Arch for me. I just can't leave

Endevouros is actually very user friendly, and arch based. like manjaro but better and less bloated.

Mint is great, i'd say stick to it if it's working! :P

Unless you want to branch out, I don't think it's much of a failure to return back home to a "noob distro." To my eyes no such thing exists, they are just working operating systems and there's nothing noob or beginner about that

I do use Arch, but because I've had bad luck with (proprietary) OS's in general, so being able to choose exactly what to install and being able to fix it myself (if something ever happens) is something I value a lot. But I will say it takes a delicate type of nerd to handle that 🤣

I just love distro hopping. I will only one distro for like 2Months. If I'm being honest, I've never switched fully to Mint.

Does a version of mint exist that is more up to date like Debian unstable /testing

Replace it with QubesOS and that's me lol
