I personally found it kinda jank. Mint feels best for a laymans gaming distro ime
good if they're gaming on old hardware I am sure. Mint lacks modern feature enablement and it baffles me that people keep recommending it
Can you elaborate, please?
Mint is a long term support distro using an in house custom desktop environment. LTS distros don’t receive kernel or mesa updates as often so game performance can be lacking especially for newer games and/or newer hardware. Cinnamon also lags behind on modern desktop features compared to GNOME or KDE Plasma.
