Pretty much people that don't game with hardware from the previous 5 years or so, which is a ton of people.
My hardware just hit 5 years old and I think mint 22 was the only one with a recent enough kernel not to have breaking bugs for Navi 1 on AMD. It is not easy, straightforward, or often well compatible to upgrade the kernel and mesa on mint.
Plus ppas are terrible. I had more things break due to ppas or bad updatws in 3 years of mint (granted it was 2014-2017) vs 7 years on arch and 6 months on Bazzite.
Other than that it is great, and definitely familiar for beginners! Plus the forum is great!
I’m so confused by this whole thread because I built a brand new computer with cutting edge parts just this year and installed Mint and everything just worked except the GPU, which I had to add a PPA for. Well, that and my HDR monitor isn’t supported, but AFAICT that’s pretty much true across all distorts.
This is me, running #LMDE on an AMD sysyem with an intergrated GPU
I just want FF to fire up, to fcuk about in Dark table, a little work on Inkscape, a VPN that works, QBtorrent and thats about 80% of what I do.
I have a few games on Steam that really stretch me, like Plants v Zombies and they work OOTB so that's about it
