I am pretty new to Linux (a bit over a year) but to be fair, I haven’t really messed with it. Once set up, everything works, so I never really use the terminal. to me, it is just an OS, and i don’t mess under the hood with it.

I use Mint (Cinnamon) and I am pretty happy with it. My thoughts now are, with a new PC comming, if I should stick to Mint, or install an other distribution?

I use it mainly as a home desktop, but also do some image editing, video editing, learning CAD at the moment and of course a bit of gaming (through Steam)

Any advice is welcomed

    I tend to keep my laptops on mint or ubuntu. PC’s you use as a daily driver, should be easy to manage. When you boot, they just work.

    Build a homelab, if you want to break stuff.

    A homelab can be as small, as a vm in virtualbox. No need for extra hardware when starting off…
