I feel the same way on PoPOS. I have compiled my own kernel (it’s actually not that difficult honestly) and done all matter of work at work. It’s also how I know the system is super stable and I don’t have to mess with things for my daily driver stuff.
I don’t use mint, but the serenity of a reliable platform to work on by far outweighs the boringness of the system.
My computer is a tool, not a hobby (anymore).
Mint is my favourite distro. Is everything I want from my computer.
… Except the Nvidia support. I need the actual proprietary driver for cuda and it’s not the easiest of rides.
(I switched to Nobara for better support and now the drivers memory leak. I need the courage to distrohop again)
