(…Not really but it fits the joke the best. I have used it and it’s an excellent distro whether you are a beginner or just want something stable and full featured. )
Mint is such a pragmatic distro. Honestly I admire people who are just happy with their Mint and don’t feel the need to distro hop to ever more esoteric package ecosystems just to feel alive
I’m slowly learning Nix, and I’ve learned that Nix has more packages available than any single distro could ever deliver: https://repology.org/repositories/graphs.
It even has more than AUR (Arch User Repository, BTW)
I use Debian everywhere but if I need a Live Linux environment to recover files, clone a drive, wipe a drive, or really anything else I use ventoy and a Linux mint iso.
I work in a PC repair shop (mostly Windows stuff) and I do the same with Ventoy and Mint. I especially like it for gParted but have a variety of things I use on it.
I use mint, btw.

The only reason I stopped using mint is some of the programs didn’t exist or were outdated. I’m about to settle at NixOS.
Edit: I ended up going back to my intermediary between mint and nix: Arch Linux
You could use nix on mint btw.
