I do actually and I also prefer CLI, just wanted add a bit of nuance to the discussion.

CLI: Here’s a txt file, now memorize it you peasant

Good GUI: Welcome back my friend, straight the thing again? Btw on the right you can see some relevant info and links.

Always tastes so much better than it looks

I don’t think these include mint specific packages like OP wanted?

I’m on mint, these are my package mirrors (based in the Netherlands):

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list

deb https://mirrors.evoluso.com/linuxmint-packages/linuxmint-packages zara main upstream import backport 

deb http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/ubuntu noble main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/ubuntu noble-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/ubuntu noble-backports main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ noble-security main restricted universe multiverse

afaik there’s no public list of package mirrors

Awesome! Pinta is good but paint.net is great.

Classic application of the “it is what it is” lemma.

Check out the fish shell, it’s imo a very user-friendly shell
