I really wanted to like Mint, and with the wave of friends wanting to move I decided to try it on a spare drive.

Wayland is still experimental on Cinnamon, and had noticeable artifacts. Shipped Nvidia drivers are Nouveau, so I looked for documentation on how to install it, and was directed by the official pages to look for “Driver Manager” IIRC. It simply was not in the “start menu”, neither via search nor via manual navigation.

Hardly “just works” unfortunately. Had much more luck with recommending Bazzite, despite its own shortcomings.

But if Mint works for you and others, you won’t hear me complain.
