Im not using Fedora (nor Debian or Mint), I like my weeds to tumble & my susey to be open.
Also I … wouldn’t ask which distro is easer to install just to switch to that one bcs of that reason. Sounds redundant.
But with Proxmox (a hypervisor) for virtual machines Debian is my go-to (as with most users everywhere) and Im too lazy for templates so I install a few Debians from scratch now and then - and it takes like no time. So I was wandering if Mint just has less steps or some other friendliness tricks.
