True it’s rather new but I’ve had basically the opposite experience.
Mint broke a lot of stuff, couldn’t get my audio working properly at all, lots of help forum posts are for old versions and fuck up your system, while bazzite just worked and I could jump straight into customization.
I’m not trying to dissuade the use of mint, I just think by now there are a lot of valid alternatives.
I think Mint can be a bad option if someone has newer hardware, but the onboarding process is just so butter smooth for non-techies. From what I recall of bazzite, the onboarding process for someone completely unfamiliar to Linux isn’t the best.
And while Mint is bad for new hardware, Bazzite can be sort’ve the opposite problem. I have a laptop with switchable graphics that has massive glitches with Wayland still. Since Fedora dropped X11 support entirely, Bazzite unfortunately inherited that, making it impossible to use on my hardware. However, Mint worked with it flawlessly thanks to it still supporting X11.
The immutability aspect of Bazzite could be a massive strength for new users if they focused on their onboarding process.
