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The only reason I stopped using mint is some of the programs didn't exist or were outdated.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.
