    So Mint is Ubuntu based right? If Ubuntu screws up even more doesn’t that affect Mint as well?

      Mint removes everything that makes Ubuntu bad and they have a version with the same features but Debian based and because Ubuntu is pushing snaps so much they have been thinking of making LMDE (Linux Mint Debian edition) the new default

        That would convince me to move, probably. Arch isn’t bad but it’s too much hassle to set it up and even then I might have left security gaps open.

          Since there is ‘archinstall’ setting up arch is really straight forward. Just Boot from stick, type archinstall and fill up all points, done.

            Yeah true. I went through the arch process to learn about Linux though so it was worth it in the end but I still have no clue about selinux, apparmor etc that are shipped by default in other distros. Also the need for firewalls/antivirus which isn’t really an issue in Linux but still.
