    I've done my fair share of distro hopping. Mint is the distribution that I have to do the least amount of configuring starting from a clean install.

    It's the most stable distro I've used so far. Manjaro just seems like it's a ticking time bomb just waiting for borked o'clock to come. I couldn't get Nvidia drivers working on fedorat all. Ubuntu was just slow as ass. I don't know why. But it was just fucked from junk street. I've given it a go a few times. Just slow wet ass. Kali is snappy and clean but not meant to be a daily driver. Not would I use it as one.

    Mint works. It's relatively snappy. I like the gui. It's customizabe.
