I don't understand why but OK.

That would be very weird. I gather that Mint use Ubuntu's packages so it should be OK. Did you try it?
I don't really know mint but why not install it through your package manager?
Brave does farbling: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/11770
JShelter is a nice extension that tries to implement the same things in other browsers, it's a bit limited by the fact that it's an extension.
I've yet to see a serious review of Duckduckgo browser, the only thing I saw was that because of it's agreement with Microsoft for their search engine the browser, for a time, had rules to avoid blocking Microsoft tracking.
Sadly Firefox has no tab sandboxing on mobile so yeah, it is less secure.
And while I agree the Brave company is shady, the browser has good security features.
Well in the end I think I'm needlessly nitpicking. It doesn't matter if it's strictly immutable or not. What matter is that it has the good parts of reproducibility, immutability and declarativity.
Isn't immutability related to the root filesystem being read-only? I can write on my root filesystem, even if it's mostly links to the store I can replace those links.
Yes, or use flakes which gives you a lockfile pinning everything. But this is related to reproducibility, not immutability.
I’ve had NixOS absolutely refuse to run some compiler toolchain I depended upon that should’ve been dead simple on other distros, I’m really hesitant to try anything that tries to be too different anymore.
Yes, some toolchain expect you to run pre-compiled dynamically linked binaries. These won't work on NixOS, you need to either find a way to install the binary from nix and force the toolchain to use it or run patchelf on it somehow.
It's way more accurate that google map. But it lacks a lot of stores and opening times in less touristy countries.
