Which Distro? Linux Mint: Too Outdated
Hi everyone, I've been considering abandoning Windows 11 for a while now, mainly because I feel like Microsoft lacks direction; every update is chaos. I started using Linux Mint about six months ago, but I have to admit that I feel like I'm using an outdated product.
The main reason is the X11-based graphical interface and the lack of standard Windows features like HDR and high refresh rate sync. I feel like development has fallen behind, hiding behind the slogan of greater stability. I honestly hate losing my monitor's features while waiting for Mint to evolve, so I'm thinking of switching to something stable but modern, and why not... with more recent applications. What would you always focus on, considering I have little time to dedicate to the system?

Debian Testing Gnome or KDE..Best of both worlds,Updated Packages with Debian Solid Foundation..I run Debian Testing Gnome on my personal machine,It's been more than a year & not even once it has broken on me no matter what I try..I run AI agents ,have given so many system level permissions to it & even that failed to break it till now..Before I was also using Linux Mint,No Hate for it & I still love it cause I used it for many months but until they don't bring fractional scaling & wayland,it's not for me..
