I actually did it. And I have abysmal knowledge of software but Linux is so fantastic. There isn’t one thing that I can’t do on it if it bothers me enough.
And even the one proprietary software that I do have to use (for work, plz don’t ask) and comes only on Windows, works without flaw once I configure the WINE environment properly.
Tried Debian, Manjaro, Linux Mint, MX linux and loved them all. They are all fantastic. Finally settled on Mint (I know) because it is the right balance of stable and updated for me.
Don’t feel bad about the distro you land on, especially not Linux Mint. It’s the #1 distro I recommend to completely new Linux users.
I use it myself for any computer that I want a #JustWorks experience on. The Cinnamon desktop environment is super stable and easy to use. And so far, Linux Mint is the only distro I know of where you truly don’t have to use the terminal for anything even kernel updates/rollbacks, alternative driver installations, and major version upgrades.
The Mint team is wonderful and they’ve created a fantastic product.
