      I can’t think of time where I needed anything more than Mint for a desktop. It’s been on at least one device in my house since 2010.

      The only real reason to switch to another distro nowadays is because you want to get updates faster (rolling release [like Arch] vs steady releases) and/or you want the ability to customize the OS more easily. Also, if you wanna be that person that wants to remove SystemD from Linux or have a version controlled OS.

        Or if you’re sold on the hype of atomic distros (such as Fedora Kionite)

        Or if you’re sold on reproducable OS configuration (Nix)

        Or if you simply like the defaults of another distro better and don’t want to have to deviate from standards.

        Or…

        Nah, there’s still a lot of variety to Linux systems.
