I consider Linux Mint Debian Edition to be the starter distro that Ubuntu was, >10 years ago.

Would you recommend something different for someone who doesn't need a "starter" but still wants to dual boot? I'm not super unfamiliar, I just haven't bothered for a long time

I'm using Pop OS, pretty good IMO

Flashing pop onto a USB now, let's give it a go! Any tips on gaming tools? I think I read about some newer compatibility thing but can't remember what it was called lol.

I'm using it mainly for development, keeping all the gaming to windows
