What Distros do you want to shoutout and why you think they are doing well/are the best at what they do?

I am curious what is out there and have only had some experience with Linux Mint, SteamOS, and Pop!_OS

    If you leave alone the haters, Ubuntu is doing great. Mint LDME also fantastic if you wish to have a rock solid base.

      Anything in particular I should be wary of switching from Mint to Mint DE?

      Been using Ubuntu for about 4 years now without issue. Even upgraded LTS versions without problems!

        I upgraded LTS versions and it failed and left my system in a broken state I couldn’t fix

        LMDE comes with some nice packages that just make your life easier. It is basically Debian but… with sane defaults

          Do you know which packages and what defaults? I’ve tried to find the differences but I can’t really find what is different, except for wallpaper etc.

      It’s doing great unless you want to debug why chromium is not connecting to your USB devices

      Hint: because they forced snap in you which doesn’t support USB access
