>>9220 (OP)Mint is actually one of the worst distros. It's for winfaggots who want to brag they use linux but don't actually get raisin done.
The only worthwhile distros are:

>one thing I look for in Linux distros is the thing working right out of the box
This is an extremely stupid criterion and you are needlessly handicapping yourself. Why does it matter if the distro requires a couple of hours to set up and install if you're going to be using that installation for years?

>>9253>It's for winfaggots who want to brag they use linux but don't actually get raisin done.Fair enough. Though admittedly I prefer the Windows like layout of Cinnamon so is Ubuntu Cinnamon oddly enough perfect for me or should I try a different flavour of Ubuntu?

>>9220 (OP)I enjoy arch a lot but I don't like pacman. I feel like other package managers have a comfier CLI

>>9246Not OP, but I'm in a similar situation of thinking of trying other distros. Is Arch + archinstall unironically that easy? I don't mind getting my hands dirty with the OS, but only when I want to and not because I'm trying to fix some basic raisin that should work but doesn't because my RAM model has serial number #5303 instead of #5302

>>9273Arch is great until it breaks after an update, they test in production
Try SpiralLinux, it's Debian that is better suited for desktops by default, and has rollbacks like openSUSE and Linux Mint do
>>9251Unironically a very stable distro, but it seriously could use a binary emphasis like Arch. I genuinely believe ebuilds are easier and more flexible than PKGBUILDs and that Gentoo could become a true Arch alternative if everything was pre-compiled (I didn't check if it is nowadays)
>>9253Fedora loves to break something after a major update that you have to go in and manually fix, the forced restarts for updates and waiting for that to finish also feels terrible and is akin to Windows 11

use arch via archinstall, but if you're too lazy for that install endeavouros

Mint is based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian.
Just go back up the family tree and see which one you like best. All three are pretty beginner friendly.
