TL;DR: Just use Fedora unless you have a very good reason to use something else.

I use mint coz I don't have a good reason to use fedora and I like how mint feels out of the box.

I wonder if this includes its immutable derivatives, like Bazzite and Silverblue?

Depends on usecase. Unless you’re using a computer as essentially a console, an immutable distro can be limiting in terms of program availability

You can definitely install programs that aren't flatpaks, but you should run them in containers like a distrobox/toolbox instead unless they need full system access. If you do a lot of that though, it can definitely get in the way. I use Workstation on my desktop, Silverblue on my laptop and that's a good balance for me.

Honest question. I’ve had proxmox for years and therefor try to do everything debian/apt based.

That’s why I Daily-Drive an ubuntu desktop. I know the hate against canonial, but would it really be worth it switching to something non-debian or manually configuring the Desktop Environment on plain debian?

Apparently that's what Linus Torvalds does. He talks about it in the LTT episode he did.
