One thing I’d really like to do is learn what the default install of Mint+Cinnamon is doing, how to go over the different components, how to pick and choose what i want this thing doing. I didn’t find the official documentation overly helpful, troubleshooting the install aside, so i wanted to ask here
It sounds like, as soon as you get half-comfortable, you should install Arch.
This is not a meme, your question is exactly what archlinux exists for.
Don’t use the installer, follow the good old https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide
Good luck, don’t take Arch too seriously.

Each console costs 40 grand?
