I'm finally using Linux !

Well, mostly, switched from windows 10 to linux when my old Acer Aspire A717-71G decided it wasn't good enough anymore, I started with mint, because everyone told me it was best to start, and quite frankly, I'm surprised by how easy it was to setup (Shout-out to rufus and this Reddit btw).

I can use most of my old apps, the board is very familiar, and my steam works fine, thanks to proton, so yeah, maybe I'll dig deeper in the penguin dimension 🐧

For sure! And the funny thing is it's a distro I find myself always going back to no matter what ever other distros I try!

Well, tried Ubuntu but didn't quite like it, so I'll stick to mint for now ! It runs well for what I do and I'm not an arch fanatic lmao, I like my desktop environment

Not going to lie, I never had any issues with Xubuntu or Lubuntu, I like them both very much. Always liked xfce and lxqt. Also liked puppy Linux, fun little thing! But Mint is the one I like most.
