Mint is not up to date nor it comes with gnome
Discussion
1) You can install that shitty gnome if you wish. That's the advantage of any gnu Linux distro 2) what so mean by not up to date? apt update & apt dist-upgrade makes you always up-to-date. Do you want rolling release distro?
I want a distro that comes with GNOME. Which part don’t you understand?
Mint is almost always outdated compared to upstream. What I want is not necessarily a rolling release, but something close to upstream versions of packages, something like Fedora or Arch.
Fuck Mint. It doesn’t even have a proper Wayland session yet.
