Mint has treated me just fine since I converted.
I’m not proficient with Linux whatsoever, but Mint has literally been the most newbie user-friendly OS I have tried to date. So Windows can suck it.
For gaming, Steam runs things great. And for other things like GOG, Battle.net, Lutris has server me well. Proton does a good job.
I switched from Windows to Mint. Best thing I ever did for myself as It’s extremely user friendly.
Is it the best choice for you? That depends on what you’re looking for in Linux.
Personally I was just fed up with Microsoft and all the corporate shenanigans. But I’m too old and dumb to learn how to properly utilize Linux (not gonna kid myself on that front), and Mint has proven a great “Baby’s First Linux” for me.
Linux Mint for sure.
It’s more welcoming to newbies than even Windows.
If you’ve already tried setting up Win 10, Mint should be downright enjoyable. It’s much more user friendly in my humble opinion.
