I would absolutely recommend it! It works very well and with the cinnamon version it comes with many cool apps that I would never call bloat. (I never knew that I could watch live TV via internet, thanks Hypnotix!). My biggest issues were the Nvidia drivers for gaming, but I only needed to press 5 buttons to install the proprietary ones, and with Proton all of my games ran just fine. Except for the VR games. That is the only reason why I still keep that other OS on my disk.

Same here. I’m going to be testing Mint and PopOS! soon.

I’m gonna start with a baby step. I want to set up a mini pc for my living room streaming. I’m thinking I’ll do Linux on it and dip my toe in the water that way, eventually I’ll transition to Linux on my main pc too once I get the hang of it. Most of what I do is online or open source so Im not locked to programs. It’s mostly games atm, a couple of which won’t run on Linux, league of legends is one if they go ahead with vanguard. I’ll either set up a completely separate mini pc to only play league or quit.

I’m thinking the same thing with KDE Neon. Idk, Mint just feels WAY too similar to Windows. I get some people like that, but I don’t wanna be reminded of something inferior.

Good luck with your mint.
