    i’m about to take my first peek into linux on mint. i’m not completely put off learning some new things but being able to do that in a desktop that is familar makes everything a lot easier to pick up on. who knows, if it all goes smoothly maybe next week i’ll be running arch (i won’t)

      Mint is honestly the best one to go for really especially since everything just works there almost.

        just works “almost” is pretty funny but i know what you mean. i wasn’t having much trouble with it testing it with a virtual machine. the nice thing is a lot of the applications i use on windows are already free software that im realizing are a lot of the go to’s for people running linux, so really a lot should “just work”

          I’ve been using Linux on and off for ~15 years and I run Mint on my main desktop PC just because it’s so intuitive and stable. I want my gaming PC to “just work” and not need any tweaking, so Mint is perfect.
