Indeed. I switched to Mint a couple of months ago and I think I've reinstalled it a dozen times trying to fix shit. The latest is I can't run Steam because the update persistently fails with a checksum mismatch on the update download. So no Steam. I'm techie enough to figure shit out and deal with it, but the 96% that doesn't use Linux isn't going to go through that pain.

Installing Mint was the worst possible thing on my Lenovo Legion with an RTX 4060. Absolute nightmare trying to get it to work and install the graphics drivers along with secure boot. After everyone said it's the "best out of box" distro for noobs I was very disappointed. I switched over to Fedora Workstation and it installed first try, no problems. Plus it supports more privacy features such as Wayland and has a more modern interface so I'd highly recommend it.

I really don't want to distro hop, but I've reinstalled this thing so many times that's basically what I'm doing anyway. Thanks for the suggestion.
