    I’m seeing a lot of advocacy for Mint on Lemmy but not as much for Fedora it seems?

    I’ve only ever run one Linux distro and that was Fedora KDE Plasma, havent tried Mint yet. Are they not mostly the same or am I missing something?

      You’re not. If you’re happy with what you’ve got, don’t worry about it. Or join the great Linux tradition of distro hopping. But Mint gets a lot of praise for noobs, but much like Ubuntu there are much better distros out there. It just has name recognition at this point.

      I’ve never understood the fedora hype. The fact that it is adjacent to Redhat should be enough for people to want to stay away lol.

      Mint is the best distro for people who need you to tell them the distro.

      I use Mint on my Laptop but once Windows is done for I’m switching to:

      1. Fedora, OpenSUSE, Secureblue, or something with KDE Plasma (security, stability, and ease of use priority)
      2. Bazzite (for games, and dual-booted into to protect the security of my daily driver)
      3. OpenBSD or something (so if something like Crowdstrike or Wannacry happens but for Linux, I have an alt)

      It’s easier to install/use. It was my first distro before I switched to CachyOS for my latest build.
