People always paint Mint as a “beginner distro”. That’s just so dumb. Mint is perfectly fine for anybody who just wants stuff to run in their computer with minimum hassle. If you like tinkering, by all means install Arch. But if you just want something that works, use Mint.
But it implies that if you use it, it means you’re not that knowledgeable. As if knowledgeable people need to recompile their kernel every day just because they can.
Eh, I think knowledgeable people know better than to trust such implications. If you’re savvy enough you can do everything you want on any distro, but if you’re just getting into Linux there are some better, less challenging entry points and Mint is one of them.
