Mint is such a pragmatic distro. Honestly I admire people who are just happy with their Mint and don't feel the need to distro hop to ever more esoteric package ecosystems just to feel alive

The only reason I stopped using mint is some of the programs didn't exist or were outdated. I'm about to settle at NixOS.

Edit: I ended up going back to my intermediary between mint and nix: Arch Linux

You could use nix on mint btw.

I'm slowly learning Nix, and I've learned that Nix has more packages available than any single distro could ever deliver: https://repology.org/repositories/graphs.

It even has more than AUR (Arch User Repository, BTW)
