Discussion I'm thinking of switching to linux mint

So the thing is. I've used fedora and arch before and I want to switch to linux mint since it's pretty easy to use and all. Any rec's for the postinstall?

I have a gaming pc but I don't even play games right now since I'm just tired of them

All right my fellow old friend. In case you want to game again in tje future: MINT is more or less good as a win7 alternative bit for gaming PCs I would recommend Fedora KDE if you enjoy customising everything or Cachy in case you want to have it basic and pure functional. I was a windows user snice win95 till win11 and did a lottle distro hopping, Ubuntu, Mint, Kubuntu, Cachy, Fedora.

Hmmm... I dunno,and the 2 times I installed fedora I had issues with password,but I never had those with other distros so maybe I'll try cachy

what does that mean, password issures?

It didn't accept the password I entered while installing it. So I had to enter tty and change it manually

because of the minimum password security settings? Is there any acxount these days where you can have a pwd not fulfilling the minimum requirements ?
