If you have issues with mint, try something based on Debian or Fedora rather than Ubuntu like Mint is.
For Fedora I recommend Bazzite if you do gaming and nothing too technical. Flatpaks make it easy to find and install software without messing things up. Otherwise Fedora Kiinoite.
For Debian I recommend Debian itself really. Also runs very well on much older machinery.
The Mint team also puts out a very stable version called LMDE which is based on Deb rather than Ubuntu.
If you didn't know, Ubuntu is based on Debian.
Yes but also no.
As in, it is based on Debian, but it's kinda like how a zebra is a horse
