Add to this that they don't give to rats ass about copyright infringment, with their pre-installed Oracle Java and Flash and various patended and copyrighted codecs which are not allowed to be freely distributed in western countries, theirfore putting their users at legal risk.
To conclude, I do not think that the Mint developers deliver professional work. Their distro is nothing more then a crude hacky stuffing together of existing Debian-based distros. They make fundemental shitty descisions and mistakes that put their users at risk, both in terms of their computer, and legally. -
Thirdly, while they import packages from Ubuntu and Debian, they hi-jack package and file names be re-using existing names. For example, they called their fork of gdm2 "mdm" which they say stands for "Mint Display Manager". Issue is, there is already a package called "mdm" in Debian which is "Utilities for single-host parallel shell scripting" or something. Regardless because of this the original "mdm" package is impossible to install.
Another example of such a "hi-jack" are their "X apps" which are their forked desktops apps. For example, their editor (which was forked from MATE's 'pluma') which they called "xedit", ignoring the fact that there is already an "xedit" making the old "xedit" unusable because of this name hi-jacking. -
Not to be a anti distro fellow but I can't recommend Linux mint
their users cannot quickly lookup whether they are affected by a certain CVE.
Secondly, they are mixing their own binary packages with the binary packages from both Debian and Ubuntu without even rebuilding the latter - let alone performing QA. This creates something the Debian community calls a "FrankenDebian" which results in system updates being unpredicatable. Because of this, the Mint developers simply descided to blacklist many packages from updates by default, and putting their users at risk due to them not receiving potentially critical security updates. -
Umm, I have cookies

Antergos with bspwm
-
If you like arch but are lazy and don't want to install from the terminal install Antergos. Antergos is practically just arch with their mirrors added. Manjaro is based on arch but has their mirrors that aren't as updated. Pacman is a great package manager so. If you want pacman go with either of those
