There's your problem ;)

Mint has been much more user friendly for a long time. I've been on Manjaro for some time now, and I'm quite happy with it.

Agreed, Mint is the better Ubuntu. And if you squint hard enough, you can find people like me who'll claim NixOS is more beginner-friendly than any other distro.

The amount of background Linux know how you need for nixos is insane.

Basically nothing you’ll want to do is googleable.

I’d recommend arch to a newbie before nix.

Once you get a handle on things, nix is pretty nice.

At that level, it's not a squint anymore. It's full strabismus..
