I just switched from Ubuntu, which I've been using for almost twenty years, to Mint 21.3 and I'm impressed. Not only does it seem to have solved my printing problems (at least with one day of use so far, but I've had zero failures compared to multiple failures per day with Ubuntu), it just seems snappier (or is that snapless?) and smoother overall. Just dumb little things like remembering my sound device settings after reboot and letting me know the printer was out of paper. Ubuntu just seems clunky by comparison now. Hopefully it isn't just the honeymoon phase.

You could probably install one from the package manager.

I use Parcellite on Mint. It works pretty good for me.

i gave it a shot a while back, but it caused the whole os to crash frequently

diodon works exactly how I wanted it and no less. I've mapped Super+V to it as well and disabled the applet icon

so far working well. only missing feature is the ability to pin something permanently, but not that important

Great news, I've been using Linux Mint (Cinnamon) since 2016 as my only operating system without any regrets. The newer versions of Cinnamon keep getting more and more stable too. I have virtually no hard crashes or freezes anymore.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
