People are always so opinionated about linux flavors. PG already recommends 10 options. Do they really need to list more? I think even 10 is way too many, which may give new users analysis paralysis. I would drop Suse from the list. Besides the correct choice is always Arch jk

I think they’re making the correct choice to not include Mint due to the X11 support which is noted in the Linux distro [minimum requirements](https://www.privacyguides.org/en/desktop/#criteria). None of the Mint DEs fully support Wayland.
