Unexpected benefit of Linux Mint relative slowness following Ubuntu releases, as they like to keep a safe pace and make things working right before releasing new versions : it aligns with enterprise software surprisingly well.

Enterprise software are even slower to update, meaning the network shared printer drivers, corporate Zero trust client, email server connector, antivirus (as in paid, licenced av agent) does works perfectly.

Mint sits right in a sweet spot about both corporate bloatware and OSS.

That's not an unexpected benefit, that's exactly why they do it the way they do. Stability takes precedence over being up to date.

@Diplomjodler3 I’m not really sure the corporate laptop is their main objective, but yes.
