        I heard of imposing operating systems (which I’m also against*), but never specific distros or DEs.

        * at least for technical people who know what they’re doing and wont spam the IT support

      What distro do you use with it? So far I liked mint with cinnamon but looking to switch my main PC to Linux and ditch windows on October 23rd.

        With KDE, you can go with Fedora if you like something “closer” to mint experience. I use it with Endeavor OS and I’m very happy

            A buddy of mine and I have been using it for a bit, he more than I. Haven’t noticed any major issues with it. Proton works well for gaming. Overall pretty solid. I’d say spin it up and give it a test drive.

        Debian primarily, though I also have arch running on another box. But I basically only run Debian across the board. Almost all stable, with some Trixie and Sid for testing. I also won’t touch Gnome unless I’m forced to, so keep in mind I’m opinionated and hold grudges when you see my recommendations.

        cinnamint is great. i think you may have already found what to put on the ‘main pc’.

        if you’re at all interested in ‘atomic’ variants, kinoite is what is running a couple of kde desktops here.

        I use SpiralLinux (basically Debian with some tweaks). I like it a lot! If you want to stay in the Debian/*buntu lineage, consider it.

        I use Arch, but you can’t go wrong with Plasma + Debian. Ubuntu has weird bugs which keeps me from recommending it. I wish Mint still had a Plasma edition. endeavouros is Arch with a user-friendly installer, so that’s an option as well. CachyOS is great too. Mint is good but Cinnamon doesn’t support HDR which keeps me from recommending it to anyone using an HDR display. Debian is probably best seeing as you are used to Mint.

            You can customize it the same on any distro. Except Artix lol. Ubuntu has weird bugs that aren’t present it other distros that ship GNOME. I don’t really like GNOME’s current direction. Their devs seem to be comfortable with breaking things for both their users and users of of other desktops without a care.
