No joke, that's the distro I'm going with ๐Ÿ™Œ Mint is great!

Mint is the distro of choice for people who want to work on their computer, not work on their computer.

Like I'm glad for all the nerds who change distros as often as they change pairs of pants and enjoy fiddle-fucking around with their setup, but some of us only want a computer that just works and doesn't give us shit.

It's funny you say that, because in my experience what you're describing is Arch. Mint, meanwhile, was the first time I'd used Linux and had it "just work". What distro are you using that you don't have to "fiddle-fuck around" with it at all?
