Is Mint a respectable distro?

So I went ahead and installed mint on a vm, liked it, made a new partition on a ssd and now I've been using it at home for a few days.
Thing is, I know how elitist you fuckers are, and mint pretty much works out of the box. It's too convenient, I have even enjoyed messing around the console when the GUI can't do something.

Did I just install Baby's first unix os, or are you lot just pretentious as fuck and this shit wasn't really supposed to look that hard to newcomers?
P.S. Does the Stallman fetish develop naturally or should I ignite it by erasing my windows partition?

Is mint k for Jow Forums or nah?

Sure. Mint is fine. I use it.

Yes. You are a software engineer now, your certificate should arrive in the mail soon.
Enjoy your six figures.

Buy a Mac, suits your intelligence better.
