People doing the 30 days linux Challenge are having several problems because of Mint's old packages and technology. Why people still recommend it when there is Fedora and Opensuse with KDE and Gnome?

why should you have to? it's a really bad choice by the distro maintainers.

Can you explain? As a Mint user with really old hardware, I appreciate using the LTS kernel. However, I also appreciate them giving users other options.

there is no benefit to old lts kernels on the desktop, kernel releases are always extremely stable
