Started with Mint and stuck with that for a year. No issues, just felt comfortable enough to try something “fancier”, I guess Mint was a little too reliable lol. Went with PopOS a while for the native dock and tiling manager, loved it. Now I’m on a brand new PC build and enjoying gaming with Bazzite. No tinkering involved, it setup my 5070 Ti automatically.

Thanks, I’ll definitely check it out

That makes sense, thanks for the explanation

Libre is good but I have no idea why WPS Office isn’t discussed more. It’s essentially a functioning MS Office clone.

Very nice. Will be sticking with bazzite for now but cool to have more options

Handheld edition? Is that like steam deck support?

I run a lot of “alternatively sourced” games and it has better compatibility with that. Pretty similar otherwise.

Emulators work pretty well on Linux. I mainly use them on steam deck with the bazzite distro, perhaps you might consider that over Linux mint? Don’t get me wrong, mint is amazing for switching from windows but bazzite is full on gaming focused.

Mint pleb on desktop because it’s stable and just works, bazzite on steam deck for installing my own games.

But you literally just hold a button and boot into desktop mode

Awesome, thanks so much. I actually just purchased the same monitor so this will be very helpful when I set it up.

How good is the “HDR Support”? It’s one thing I’ve really wanted for Linux for a while.

Exactly, I switched to Linux mint a year ago and I’ve used the terminal like… twice lol.

Man you really could have just said “no”
