I went Windows 10 > Linux Mint

I have nothing to complain about. Lateral move in terms of functionality. In terms of general freedom and feeling like I actually own the PC I purchased,... 100% improvement.

Mint ftw!

I've loved mint ever since I first tried it. An OS that actually does what I want it to do. My only complaint with mint is that it works so well that I keep forgetting the console commands and have to look them up when I do need them. Thinking about installing suicide linux on an old laptop and learning the hard way lol.

I used Arch for about a decade but I got really tired of babysitting.

Oh, that library causes crashes to such and such app, either downgrade or eat shit until it's updated again

That can be a day,... a week, a month, maybe longer.

Mint is new enough without being too new and it's polished enough without seeming like too much, like Garuda or most flavors of Ubuntu.
