I have tried it. Itβs a great starting distro to get acquainted with Linux. But I stay away from it due to my preference on package managers. I am not a big fan of apt, which Mint, Ubuntu, and Ubuntu-based distorts ship with.
Ha ha, I stay away from CentOS et al. mostly due to my preference on package managers, I'm definitely not a fan of yum π Side note: at work, almost everyone stays away from CentOS π€·
Using Debian or Ubuntu LTS for servers, Arch on my laptop (fortunately, you don't go through the install steps too often π actually, we even just put the SSD in the new machine when changing laptops so you actually really go through the install steps once)
Maybe it's time for you to try Mint. So many positive comments about it on this post. I'm almost tempted to try it out.

Yup I have the same issue, sticking to AUR for now

Thatβs exactly it, haha. I like to think of distro flavors like ice cream. Pick the one you enjoy and just run with it.
