On mint for a while now, people usually call mint a newbie distro, any reason to "upgrade" to a different distro? (lemmy.world)

Hi, how's it going? I've been daily driving mint with i3 for a while now, (takes like 500mb idle ram) but I always hear mint being called a newbie distro, I know arch is harder to set up and more customizable for example, but overall im wondering, in which cases one would go from mint to another distro? what can make other distros "better" than mint? i'll end up using a window manager (i3 or if thats not availible some other lightweight one) so differences in desktop environments i dont really care that much about

Man let me tell you that when you try to use a software and search for the docs, then you are like "the feature I need is in a newer version, which got implemented in 2022 but mint uses the version of 1993.. damn that's unlucky". and that happens to me 3 whole times. So I still haven't switched but only because I am to lazy to backup my files right now.
