You can still edit it. Please consider doing so 😅.

Important elaboration. Much appreciated.

I'm mostly oblivious of what's required to run an ISP. But you mentioned servers yourself. Do you install Linux Mint on your servers?

Fair. Even if some may dismiss it as anecdotal (N=1), I do think it's valuable. Thank you.

with Mint when the next release you are more likely than not going to have to re-install

First time hearing this. Got anything to back that up?

Still getting the hang of Ubuntu, but I see a lot of comments on different posts in which a majority of them point to using Mint instead.

Ubuntu should be okay; it's not necessarily a bad pick. However, the community has been upset with some of its past decisions and (more recently) the implementation of its vision, i.e. their enforcement of Snaps. This has eventually led to our current situation in which it has become popular to hate on Ubuntu.

Would the best recommendation, be to switch to Mint from Ubuntu?

Personally, I've stopped recommending beginners to Ubuntu. This is primarily for how the above mentioned enforcement has lead to ~~broken~~ unintuitive interactions. However, if you've already started using it and are content with what you have, then the negative sentiment by itself shouldn't warrant a switch.

Though, granted, (I think) most Linux users have indulged in distro hopping; some have even made it their hobbies. So you shouldn't feel bad about switching either. Though I implore you to practice best practices while at it:

• Keep using your home base until you're certain of the switch.
• Don't nuke your home base to experience another distro. Make ample use of live USBs, VMs and dual booting instead.
• Try to understand the difference between the fundaments and the auxiliary when experiencing new distros; i.e., what is and isn't possible for you to import to your home base without outright switching.

i found it difficult to get a working guide for nvidia drivers

I am saddened to hear that. Did you try the guide found on RPM Fusion?

As another user said, opting for a derivative with built-in Nvidia drivers might be another option worth considering.

GrapheneOS FTW!

Best Distro

Needs dictate preferences. An objective assessment isn't possible even on an individual level, as circumstances change over time. Linux Mint serves as a common starting point, with many users eventually 'graduating' to other distributions. The opposite is also true; many eventually return to low-maintenance distros like Linux Mint, preferring something that 'just works'.

I’m very curious of which distro users loves the most that they have it on their daily hardware?

I daily drive secureblue.

Is there a specific android app you need?

Currently, there are already a couple I need beyond future-proofing.

Thanks for mentioning this! While I've had some experience with Waydroid in the past, this is completely new to me. Looking at it briefly, it seems to operate differently than Waydroid's full Android emulation approach. Instead, it works as a translation layer (like Wine), making it both more efficient and potentially better integrated with Linux. Is this a correct assessment?

Despite having researched Android on Linux solutions before, I hadn't come across this one. Typically, these discussions only mention Anbox or Waydroid.

Even though I'm a huge GNOME shill, I can't help but admire the allure that KDE Plasma offers to those yearning for a traditional desktop experience and (above all) its wealth of customization options readily available by default; truly embodying the FOSS spirit of user choice and freedom.

Hopefully this change will enable KDE to become the best version of itself!

That's actually pretty interesting. Thank you for mentioning!

Have you got any experience with this (particular) combination?
