Mint: Its rude to ask the age of a distro

Me: well are the maintained properly?

    Mint us absolutely perfect for folks like me. I want to use my computer, not work on it. I have Blender, a couple of slicers, GIMP, a couple of DAW type programs and a few other things. Perfect computer. I have no interest in the bleeding edge. Now granted, I don't game, which saves me some grief but I guess kinda marginalizes me these days, and I'm not even hobbyist level savvy in the console, but I do hate both Microsoft and Apple, ta-da!, Mint. If there's a better distro for me, I don't care, I like mint.

    I know you're not going to believe me, because you sound like the type of person who is "set in their ways", but the only thing that makes Mint better for you than some other distro is that it happens to already be installed on your computer. That's it. Mint is not the perfect choice for anyone, because it's not particularly good at anything.

    Keep using it. If it works for you, great. I don't care what you use. But we shouldn't be misleading people new to Linux into installing a distro that might not work for them.
