I believe LMDE includes the proprietary stuff you might need and, as others have said, Debian 12 is starting to as well.
Historical fencer, bike packer, friend of the Fae, it’s gets complicated…

For a new user who just wants a good OS to start with, Pop_OS is a fine choice. A little surprised you had trouble with Mint identifying your WiFi card but, I see others have posted on it. Mint is typically my go-to recommendation for new Linux users.
…although, to be fair, a lot of distro’s just kinda sort it out for you.
The thing is, there’s “iwd” and “wpa_supplicant”. You use either one or the other, but not both. Sources like the Gentoo handbook will tell you that but, not all Wiki’s do as good a job of pointing that out <…looking directly at you Arch…>.
Can we compromise and sacrifice Nazis?
No…find your tribe…be you
“Plutocracy” is the term for “Financial Oligarchy” BTW. Worth knowing the term if you live in the U.S. since that’s kinda what we have here these days :/
I just blame it on being a rolling release ;)
Have to agree. They had a great start by enhancing Debian and being user friendly but, then they just kind of lost their way.
Although, speaking as a fan of Mint who used it as my “daily driver” for years, I think the time has come for them to switch from Ubuntu to Debian and embrace Wayland. I know that, if I’d stayed with Mint, I’ve have gone to LMDE by now.
If you’ve got an old PC, you might still need it.
I’ve been with EndeavourOS for longer than that…I WAS THERE MAN!..I WAS THERE! . (also GRUB Customizer sucks…IYKYK) . I would eventually get GRUB working again but, it was not the same. I went to systemdboot.

The particular GRUB issue (on UEFI systems) it’s referring to hit EndeavourOS as well. It’s actually what nudged me into just going with systemdboot. Also, to be fair, with Arch, it’s a good habit to check the update notes on the website prior to updating.
I generally tell people on Manjaro to stay off the AUR. If it’s not in their “curated” repository, then just go with the flatpak.
I’ve used both. Manjaro, in their attempt to be “user friendly”, winds up disconnecting you from what makes Arch good. EndeavorOS, on the other hand, is basically Arch nicely set up for a “daily driver” PC along with some nice tools of their own you can use or not at your discretion. I’ve also used just plain Arch and I actually prefer EndeavourOS of the three.
I work in aviation regulatory law but, a friend of mine does work in this arena. I did ask him if my analog existed in the nautical world and he was able to walk me through how he’d managed to avoid any regulatory oversight. There’s SOLAS but, other than that, it’s a gap that apparently needs to be closed.
I don’t know, I’m an aircraft structural engineer and, based upon what technical commentary I did hear him make, it kinda sounds to me like he knows what he’s talking about.
I don’t know about the others, but Coast Guard gets paid regardless. These events justify their budget. It wasn’t an “extra cost” to the taxpayers.

Maybe he’ll be staying there? They could call it “Mar-a-Uh-Ohh”?
