Mint isn't just for beginners. It works out of the box for ex windows folks but it can be easily tweaked to support advanced users as well. It has tools for installing newer kernels to take advantage of features in the newer kernels. It has a right click menu on files in the application menu to uninstall an app without much effort, keeping maintenance quick and simple. There is a lot more in it to make your life easier and you do not need to know how to code to get there. I'm not seeing much limitation if any in the last eight years using it. I built and managed large global networks and data centers for over 30 years and Linux fits very nicely in those environments and has for years. Mint is good enough at present that I would not hesitate to put some folks on it now, and have already. I tell people all the time that Linux is ready now, both in the back room and on the desktop and they should start learning how to use it.They will and are being pleasantly surprised.

You're completely right, Mint isn't just for beginners, but it has a simple enough layout and a bunch of easy-to-use tools which is appealing to a new user. As somewhat of an intermediate user myself, I enjoy using Mint as well.

Since the rest were reviewed, could also review some niece Linux distros, there are other people that reviewed it, but I want to see how you do it the right way, if possible: Rhino Linux: Made for developers, but it has a package manager of that of a pacman as Pacstall and apt-get as it's package manager, despite it being a Ubuntu based derivative. KickSecure: Based on Debian but hardened, using a integrated Tor Network as software pre installed, it is also endorsed by Free Software Foundation but I don't see them being in the Endorsement Program, but it's a nice way of staying secure and anonymous. They also have a separate project by their team known as Whonix. Now, I am not sure if you are able to make guides and recommendations in regards to this subject, but I bet it's most common now a days: A video idea like this: Linux Privacy Guide, how to harden your distro. Usually about how to harden your Linux installation, such as how to harden your Linux installation in Linux Mint, others can be harden but it depends. I know this subject is mainly about how to protect your privacy online with Linux. A separate idea is for that same thing: Linux Privacy Guide, which Linux distro is privacy respecting. It's usually about which distro is privacy respecting and drama free, example being Debian, Linux Mint, and other distros that I think they are privacy respecting, and or drama free. The ones that are not included are: Ubuntu, because of their association with canonical ltd, Fedora and RHEL due to their drama and controversy, especially the whole telemetry thingy and their AI implementation, Manjaro is also not recommended because of them starting to collect data in their OS. For reviewing privacy focused distros are: TailsOS, Whonix, Kicksecure, and if you really have a hardware for it: Qubes OS. I am not sure what to include here, but I guess you can research these subjects and things I have mentioned. For Arch I guess you can recommend CachyOS for now. There are also some new distros like Ditana, and their distros that are in Distro watch. but hey that's on you. Good luck though. Thanks.

Could you review some Linux distros? The ones in the review are (if not reviewed or ranked by you): Linux Mint, MX Linux, Debian 13 (In development but you can try 12 if need be), CachyOS, EndeavorOS, ElementaryOS. Also, could you recommend Linux Mint next time? Pop_OS! Is yes updated or sometimes outdated at times (like that mentioned) because of old gnome. Linux 22.1 is in Beta, you can also try out their beta if you need to but right now it is still popular in Distrowatch. Also for a video idea: Best recommendations for Intermediate Users, its all about recommending the best popular or unpopular linux distro for experienced users. All I see is beginner recommendations every where. Thank you.

@@aryamanstechhaven it's not a matter of trial and error, there are various softwares that do not exist on Linux and there are no alternatives for them, and lots of them which do have "alternatives" are not anywhere near the ones we have on Windows. I wanted to switch to Linux, of course it's better, but unfortunately Windows is still the only option for the majority of power users. When full legacy compatibility occurs, I will gladly switch to Linux, the problem is that this will probably never happen, or at least not in the upcoming years.

I hate to break this to you but I've seen plenty of people report problems and I've had my share of Windows customers report repeated problems of Microsoft Windows changing their Hardware drivers to what they thought were correct they meaning microsoft, and it ends up bending or braking certain functionality be a graphics or land or wireless LAN as well as Bluetooth both in Windows 10 and 11. So whatever you want to tell yourself but this is 20/25 not 2005 a lot has changed in Linux world since you probably the last tried. And given the fact that you didn't mention What Lennox distributions you've tried at all no details whatsoever it wouldn't surprise me if you've even tried it at all
