Clem talks about that in the comments. What are some no hassle, Debian based, rustless distros as alternative to Mint?

@forestbeasts @p4rzivalrp2 Quite honestly, I am a bit disappointed on wayland - it promises a fast X, but it does not provide it. The cause of the slow X was not that it is an old monster, the cause was the much lesser developer resources. Wayland has even much lesser.
