im planning to switch from windows 11 to linux mint in 2026

Unpopular opinion: Linux Mint sucks ass and there are so many great distros to choose from, which aren't Linux Mint. It looks like Windows XP and functions like Windows XP. Still uses X11, which doesn't even have proper support for 1:1 touchpad gestures and handles multiple displays with different scaling factors and refresh rates in a way that is, well, hacky and janky at best or non-functional at worst.

I get that Linux Mint is easy to use because it's made specifically to be as convenient as possible to users coming from Windows but jeez, it looks and feels like something from 2005, especially on a laptop...

I've just started to daily drive Mint, after finding Fedora confusing and Ubuntu somehow slow and stuttery.

Every few years I try out Linux desktop and this is the first time I've found it usable enough for me. For the first time I'm not delving into forum posts from last decade to get simple stuff working.

What distro would you recommend that does desktop usability better than Mint?
