Mint is good. Avoid Ubuntu; snaps just make your life hard. You don’t need to know what those are, and if you avoid Ubuntu you never will need to know.
Tried both, Mint wasn’t great for me for gaming because of older kernels and such so I switched to Nobara.
Damnit I just switched to Ubuntu. That explains why I kept getting lost. What about Debian?
Debian and Mint are both good. The former is aimed at servers and the latter is aimed at desktop use. They are otherwise very similar under the hood.
Anything specific I could help out with?

I think in college we used something-Unix but it’s been so long I don’t really have a frame of reference anymore. So I’m looking for a low-overhead daily driver that’s also relatively common or amenable to maker communities
If that makes sense.
Hmmm, now that is not something I’m qualified to answer. Hopefully someone else speaks up.
No worries, it’s all part of the experience
