Literally switched two days ago. Trying mint for now

Haha, me too. I tried opensuse first but switched to mint.

Mint gang rise up!

Switched just a couple of months ago.

I switched to mint in November, almost everything just works (I mainly use my desktop for gaming). And everything that doesn't, works after visiting the mint forum or is just a minor inconvenience.

I dunno; ive had trouble trying to internally rewhatsit outgoing broadcast UDP packets to multicast UDP (or even TCP and then back on the other side) packets for use with some 25 year old windows software. So clearly Linux sucks.

Manjaro is amazing, but might have a little steep learning curve should you use it for something very advanced. Also, no .deb's and .rpm's for you, but AUR is arguably even more based (don't rely on it too much though, troubleshooting issues with AUR-sourced apps is an advanced task indeed!)

Other than that, an insanely snappy (thanks, Arch!), beautiful (thank you, presets for various DEs!), almost bleeding-edge and very novice-friendly distribution.

PopOS uses the same core stuff as mint and is good at graphics drivers, does em automatically.
