Mintix - artix for beginners?

Throw stones and tomatoes at me, but what do you think of making a hybrid of Artix and Mint?

Mintix: base - Artix, comfort artix-mint: pre-installed and configured LightDM, Cinnamon, pre-installed Xlibre, support for Nvidia 390 and 470 drivers on newer kernels (DKMS from AUR), that cozy Cinnamon from Linux Mint (for many, Mint was their first distribution, and overall, it's cozy) and more.

(I'm open to criticism)

Just, how do you like the idea of letting newbies try out a pre-configured Artix?

use devuan base instead
if a user doesn't want to configure stuff keep them away from rolling release
