    What do those distros have that Mint doesn’t have? I’m not being rude, it’s just that I recently switched from Windows to Linux Mint on my laptop, and I can’t imagine what features I’m missing. It’s easy to use and does everything I need it to do so far. I haven’t experienced any weird bugs yet, and compared to Windows 10 it’s a much less frustrating experience overall.

      Mint in my experience is one of the buggiest distros (after Manjaro and on par with Ubuntu).
      I guess this is mostly caused by being a distro based on another distro based on another distro.
      Mint doesn’t have the manpower to reliably fix bugs in their own distro, so the bugfixes need to be passed from upstream to Debian to Ubuntu to Mint.

        Considering I’ve had far fewer problems and frustrations with Mint so far than I had with Windows, this bodes well. I’ll save your comment and plan on giving OpenSUSE a try!
