From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Your PC can run any distro smoothly. What are you looking for that Mint doesn’t provide?
Personally, I'm looking for reproducible environments where if you create a lock file of your packages, you will get the exact same system on another machine if you copy it over
Maybe you would like an immutable distro such as Fedora Silverblue?
I'm already using NixOS, which is even more powerful since it can configure my software as well as my system
