I personally use Fedora (starting yesterday actually), but Mint is definitely a serviceable distro that works for a wide variety of people.
I simply don’t like how it stays so behind on updates (I see that as a big security and privacy risk), but if you don’t need windows-only proprietary software, or all you do is browse the web, then Linux Mint is a familiar and usable enough distro.
If you’re going to criticize Mint for being behind in packages, then you also need to criticize Debian, because that’s where the philosophy comes from.
Yeah I think in the future, we’ll figure out how to make NixOS configuration modular enough to be viable for laymen, but Linux Mint works well enough for Windows refugees.
