I am pretty new to Linux (a bit over a year) but to be fair, I haven’t really messed with it. Once set up, everything works, so I never really use the terminal. to me, it is just an OS, and i don’t mess under the hood with it.
I use Mint (Cinnamon) and I am pretty happy with it. My thoughts now are, with a new PC comming, if I should stick to Mint, or install an other distribution?
I use it mainly as a home desktop, but also do some image editing, video editing, learning CAD at the moment and of course a bit of gaming (through Steam)
Any advice is welcomed
No reason to switch if everything works as expected.
It’s fun to discover new distros, but in the long run it is more important to keep my workstation working.
I keep an old laptop around for trying other distros.
and I am pretty happy with it.
No reason to switch from the sound of it
If you’re happy with it, it should be fine. Mint’s a good distro.
Depending on the GPU, you may need to install a PPA and install a newer kernel to get access to more modern GPU drivers to play games, but only if it’s very new hardware.
