Can you provide an example of a something misconfigured which is easier to manage with let's say Fedora? I am genuinely asking, I don't really know how other distros differ despite from Desktop environments and package managers/mirrors. If I have a problem with Linux I check man pages, stack overflow, the Arch wiki etc. How do other distros encourage you to to the same where Mint isn't doing that? Is it because Mint provides more GUI options?
you misunderstand (or more likely I phrased it like an idiot). im not saying something like that is easier to manage on fedora. what I meant was that you would encounter minor things on fedora that would give you the chance to learn the skills necessary to fix or at least diagnose a bigger issue. on mint you wouldn't see that and on Ubuntu you generally wouldn't either (in my brief experience using each before settling on fedora as my main)
