I used Linux Mint on bare metal for several months before going back to Windows because I needed something that did not work on Wine.
Now I no longer need that shit so I am read to back to Linux.

Should I keep using Mint or take the next step to a distro that's more advanced? What even is the next step after Mint?

Sounds like you're ready for NixOS

LFS is the best option

>>107888928
I would say choose a distro with a minimal installer and a package manager/release cycle that you like. That is the next logical upgrade to something like mint. IMO it is the best way to have almost exactly the system that you want with nothing more and nothing less, whilst also not being a huge time sink like LFS or Gentoo.

if mint gives the packages you need then there's no "next step".
I'm personally on Fedora because package support just wasn't there for my laptop on Debian/Mint.

This

Any Debian based distro for stability and the large package/software ecosystem

Any fedora based distro for relative stability if you need newer packages.

All the Others are meme distros or have very niche use cases, and if you'll know you need them if you need them.

Arch Linux or CachyOS if you're into gaming.

>arch linux
why are trannies like this?
>muh you will learn so much
no, no he won't. he'll wreck his system and go back to windows or mint.
most people don't give a shit about or even want to cfdisk their fucking drives. they want install their OS and get to work or game.
i hate arch trannies so fucking much.
the RIGHT way to do it is install a plug and play distro LIKE mint, pop, ubuntu,or even fedora - get to know linux THEN when they are comfortable and if they want to dive in deeper thats when they fuck around with arch/gentoo/LFS and even then they should do it in a hypervisor FIRST so they dont completely wreck their shit
>>
>>107888928
As a Windows user who still uses Windows and is not a tinker tranny, the best distro I've tried and could see myself using is Fedora.

install gentoo, you supreme faggot
>>
>>107890488
he's asking for the next step and installing Arch is the perfect next step, learn about partitioning, bootloaders and so on. if he doesn't want to learn anything then any noob distro is fine (Noobuntu, PoopOS, Mint, Bazzite, Noobara)
