oh no, definitely wasn’t saying you’re doing anything wrong or should swap. just seems like it’s been a little bumpy and i feel for ya. it’s probably just standard linux woes
i use linux mint for similar reasons i use librewolf: i get to free ride on upstream corpo-backed software while someone stands in the middle to tear out most of the gross stuff for me. i like that they lag behind and are relatively feature poor.
fake answer: i prefer to opt-in to spooky shit rather than tear out spooky shit
real answer: propaganda when swapping from chrome years ago and now inertia
