When Windows 10 dies, I am going to jump ship over to Linux. Which version would you recommend for someone with zero prior experience with Linux? **Edit: Linux Mint it shall be.**

Whom also likes to game every now and then ;)

Edit: Thank you all for your input and suggestions! Linux Mint shall be my next OS! Though, I think I'll give Pop!OS a look-see as well.

I'd recommend POP!_OS. Very easy to install and use and most games I've tried to play work without any problems.

The only thing I would maybe hesitate about with POP! OS is the big upcoming switch to the COSMIC desktop, which is is brand-new and a bit untested. But also System76 are a really solid company and seem to know what they're doing so it'll probably be fine.

Even so, changing desktops in Pop! is pretty easy. I generally recommend new users watch a few videos on different Desktops and consider what would work best for them. It also really shows you the level of customization you're going to get.
