Mint’s a pretty nice distro, all things considered. The only one I’d turn my nose up against is Manjaro, mostly because of their leadership’s reputation as clowns.

I use nix like the AUR for debian.

I just use whatever’s in the box.

This is exactly why I’m not using windows on this box. Too much hassle.

Sounds proprietary.

I use the Nix packmani in debian like yay on arch.

NAK

what a cool alternative!

Isn’t this just an ad hominem? You aren’t disagreeing with the point, just saying you dislike the creed that said it.
