it’s just practicality.

I have "enough" years under my belt with Linux and I still prefer Mint on majority of my "daily driver" type machines. I already spend my working hours messing around with all kinds of different systems, figuring out problems, installing new ones and so on and I'm old enough that tweaking system just for the sake of it isn't really what I'm after anymore. I just want something which doesn't crap the bed, stays out of the way and lets me run whatever software I happen to need. At least for me Mint checks most of the boxes and the ones it lacks it's pretty trivial to beat it back into submission.
