I don't use mint, but the serenity of a reliable platform to work on by far outweighs the boringness of the system.
My computer is a tool, not a hobby (anymore).
-
I feel the same way on PoPOS. I have compiled my own kernel (it's actually not that difficult honestly) and done all matter of work at work. It's also how I know the system is super stable and I don't have to mess with things for my daily driver stuff.
-
Mint is my favourite distro. Is everything I want from my computer.
... Except the Nvidia support. I need the actual proprietary driver for cuda and it's not the easiest of rides.
(I switched to Nobara for better support and now the drivers memory leak. I need the courage to distrohop again)
-
Debian with the mint UI. All of the debian memes, but none of the UI headaches!
-
There's also LMDE which is mint built on Debian instead of Ubuntu. The Mint guys had the foresight to prepare for a future when they'd get fed up with Ubuntu's nonsense.
-
Dang it, you gotta come in here and tempt me to distrohop... That's a dang attractive choice.
-
LMDE is everything you want, I assure you.

Been using this for a while now. For my needs, it's the best distro out there.

As far as I know, the open-source driver supports CUDA now, as long as you're using version 560 or above and the latest CUDA packages. https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-transitions-fully-towards-open-source-gpu-kernel-modules/
We've been using the open-source driver with workstation-grade cards at my employer for a while. The open-source driver didn't get full support for consumer-grade cards until version 560 which was only released around 6 months ago.

Nobara has always been ahead on GPU drivers, I'm surprised you're having issues

EndeavourOS on my DD laptop with time shift in case an update wants to be a dick (or I do something stupid).
Proxmox VMs for when I'm feeling saucy.
Ain't no one got time for an unstable work machine.

I run my "work machine" (Windows 11 VM) in Proxmox, cause I aint running windows on bare metal 🤘 Also means it's always available wherever I happen to be, via Apache Guacamole. 👌
