Mint is great in general. I have used everything from a stage 1 gentoo installation to arch to nixos and everything in between on bare metal. I’ve been using Linux since 1999 so I guess you could say I’m an advanced user. I’m running mint on my laptop because it just works and it’s not missing anything I need.

You can change that in settings.
