Clem talks about that in the comments. What are some no hassle, Debian based, rustless distros as alternative to Mint?
Is this bad? I’m afraid I don’t have a good grasp on what the implications are of this.

Why is rust-less a requirement for you?
Could be because of how hard Rust is being pushed.
Just like how Wayland is being pushed. And systemd is being pushed.
Alternatives to the Hotness™ are good. Programming language diversity is good.
Is C good? Well, it’s good at being simple to compile and at being low-level, but beyond that, nah not really. But is it better than Rust? IMO yeah. (But more for cultural reasons than for technical ones.)
Most coreutils stuff could honestly probably do really well written in Perl, too, with how string-processing-focused they are. String processing is like Perl’s whole schtick. Where’s our Perl coreutils implementation then!
