  Isn’t Mint a version of Ubuntu?

    Yes. Though the parts that make Ubuntu bad aren’t the base code. The parts that make it bad are the Ubuntu-specific things Canonical puts on top, like Snaps.

    There is a Debian-based version available

    (yes I know Ubuntu is also based on Debian but LMDE removes the Ubu middle-man)

  Tried both, Mint wasn’t great for me for gaming because of older kernels and such so I switched to Nobara.

  Damnit I just switched to Ubuntu. That explains why I kept getting lost. What about Debian?

    Debian and Mint are both good. The former is aimed at servers and the latter is aimed at desktops.

      Hmm, okay. Yeah I was trying to set up an environment to dabble with machine vision and had trouble finding good instructions or guidance for programming env setup. I think in college we used something-Unix but it’s been so long I don’t really have a frame of reference anymore. So I’m looking for a low-overhead daily driver that’s also relatively common or amenable to maker communities

      If that makes sense.

        What did you use before? You might be able to use many of the same things, or find open-source alternatives that work the same.

        If you install Ubuntu already your fine.

        Personally I don’t want to spend time working on my computer (that’s work me), so I use mint. Just about any flavor of Linux can have a basic development env configuration done.

        Hmmm, now that is not something I’m qualified to answer. Hopefully someone else speaks up.
