You should be proud of yourself. I’ve never seen dist-upgrade go wrong since woody - and I’ve upgraded quite a few machines. Did you ever bother reading the release notes for a new major version?

Debian has been doing so since forever without breaking. I tried Mint when it was the latest shit on a new laptop and was quite fond of it. Until it was time to update. I chose to upgrade - to plain, old Debian that had been running on my servers, workstations and PCs since 2002 and still does. How a Debian-derived distro could fuck up the one thing that makes Deian stand out -the nearly unbreakable packet management system- still is beyond my understanding.
Sure. But MInt doesn’t do dist-.upgrade at all. Or it didn’t when I tried some years ago. IDK what the situation is now, but then Mint’s FAQ said you’d have to do a fresh install.
