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

All of the distros run the same applications and do the same things.

Mint is behind on getting wayland support, if you're a gamer who uses a high resolution/high refresh display, something a bit more cutting edge might be in order, but only in that case.
