Let me fight elitism with more elitism: when looking at a distro you only see the desktop environment and its defaults. You don't even understand in what ways mint is different from windows because you probably don't even interact with the deeper stuff. You only see the start menu and nothing else. You probably distrohop only for a different DE because you don't know how to switch it without a full reinstall of a completely new OS. You probably don't even understand in what other ways distros differ, so when looking for what you want to install you just look at the pretty little pictures instead of actually reading what the distro is about. You're a distro elitist for the wrong reason and I hereby banish you from the distro elitism club
