Since I bought my first laptop I had Mint for a while, then switched to Arch, then I messed too much with the DE and tried Ubuntu GNOME first and Elementary OS later.
I'm horrified to see how much desktop environments got worse in the last 10 years. I miss so fucking much the old GNOME 2 from the era when indicators still didn't exist. MATE is only a palliative solution and never truly satisfied me.
