So Mint is Ubuntu based right? If Ubuntu screws up even more doesn't that affect Mint as well?
Mint removes everything that makes Ubuntu bad and they have a version with the same features but Debian based and because Ubuntu is pushing snaps so much they have been thinking of making LMDE (Linux Mint Debian edition) the new default
That would convince me to move, probably. Arch isn't bad but it's too much hassle to set it up and even then I might have left security gaps open.
Since there is 'archinstall' setting up arch is really straight forward. Just Boot from stick, type archinstall and fill up all points, done.
