I've finally stopped distrohopping. I'm now on nobara (used arch before that btw), and don't feel the urge, nor have the energy to distrohop, even though I want to find out what's so great about nix. That said, I still only use my computer for movies, games, and browsing, so I guess the meme still stands.

Same. I want to try NixOS, or immutable distros, or a fully containerized system, and I've been meaning to give Gentoo a shot for years as well (I'm not suffering enough on Endeavor, btw). I even got a second drive just so I don't have to throw my current setup away, but I'm just so comfy and everything just works and it'll be so much work to actually give a new system a fair shot.

Is nobara better then mint? This is someone with little Linux knowledge who is on windows 10 but refuses to use 11

Personally I prefer a rolling release or at least a bleeding edge distro, so nobara works great for me. If your laptop or computer has any latest components that are not already supported in the lts kernel, then you can try nobara, but if not, you can use mint with no issues. I would even say mint is the best starting point to Linux coming from Windows. It has all necessary things configured and ready to go, including automatic backups of the system for recovery purposes.
