@Purplegengar25@lgbtqia.space Great to hear! I started on Mint as well. I have hopped all over and tried so many of them now, but I always come back to Debian. Arch and Debian are both pretty minimal and I think that is what I like the most. You'll find what clicks for you. A lot of people never leave Mint, and that is ok, too! Another thing to consider is (if it matters to you) how is the distro governed and maintained? Who has influences over it? For instance, I don't mess with Fedora because of RedHat.

@TerminalTilt@social.terminaltilt.com I love the fact you acknowledge that if someone stayed on Mint, it's totally valid. There's so much snobbery online regarding distros. Something I didn't like. I'm happy to hear you say that. I totally think it's okay to stay on Mint as well, and one will learn a lot with time. In regards to governmentality issue. I'm so new to this world, but I'd want something truly Foss and truly decentralised, free as in freedom, and driven by community.
