    I’ll go ahead and share my experience with Mint so far. Gaming worked mostly fine which is pleasing.

    I couldn’t get many basic features working correctly for my dual monitor set up. Even after putting in the time to research.

    I couldn’t get multiple proprietary programs to work for my job.

    The customization in settings is extremely limited.

    I have to mess around with complex terminal commands I do not fully understand every time I need to do something more than use my browser.

    I will try another distro this year, but it is definitely not a foolproof experience.

    A lot of things Windows does easily, I took for granted.

      There’s a learning curve to it. I have yet to find anything I could do on windows that I can’t do on Linux. Lots of stuff took me a while to understand, but daily driving arch for 2 years and I actually cant believe how limited windows is and how I put up with it for so long.

      Only real exceptions thus far are that you can’t play league of legends or fortnite. And thats because the developers have their servers set to kick any Linux users basically. Not a limitation of the operating system.
