I don’t know, I installed Mint last year and it’s been great.

I don’t think it’s a dis.  It’s just what people usually recommend to people used to Windows, traditionally at least.  Because it’s familiar and just works.

We’re still somehow not over the hipstery conceit that anything with mass appeal is inherently flawed.

Hipsters:

likes something different/uncommon

makes it cool

…

“Ugh. That’s so mainstream.”

judges everyone for liking it.

I can’t speak for others, but for me it works like a charm.

It’s a “beginner-friendly” distro so people might subconsciously think you should “graduate” to use something “better”.

Which is ridiculous, of course. No reason to switch if it works for you!

I just don’t like the organizational structure of its maintainers as much as I like Debian’s, but that’s just a personal quirk. There’s no wrong answer because the right answer is subjective.

Because it’s becoming mainstream. And for some people, that means they have to dish on it to feel special.

Use the OS that works for you. If Windows or MacOS hits the spot for you, use that. There are no wrong answers here.

They don’t dislike it, it just doesn’t make them look edgy. And some people like to (which is fine BTW).

I’ve started on Conectiva in the nineties, Debian, Ubuntu, and settled on Mint. I’ll probably switch to LMDE if at all at this point.
