What really should mixolydian ♭6 be labeled as?

I am quite brand new to music theory, and actually came down the rabbit hole of understanding it because of this specific scale apparently having been my favorite scale since before I even understood what a scale was. I underrstand, due to how under-utilized it is, that supporting it as an official option on the site is not worth the work. So, as I am not experienced, I would like to ask of those more experienced than me if I should label these songs as minor or mixolydian? It’s one note away from both and as it’s a very under-documented scale I can’t really decide if I should truly treat it as mixolydian with a flattened sixth, or instead as minor with a raised third. I ask because the latter is more the vibe I personally get from it despite the name.

What do you guys think?
