I have heard good things about nobara. I don’t mind doing a little thinkering to have things work but I also don’t want to spend hours doing recharch on how to fix things.

Edit: thanks for giving input everyone. I will try Linux mint and if it does not go well will give nobara a go instead.

Edit part two I had to boot mint in compatibility mode because I got black screen for like 15+ minutes and then I couldn’t get it to see more than one monitor and 3 hours later gave up…Just put on nobara will load mint to my laptop and try to learn more because I want to but also tryna game :) you will hear more from me

    Mint is good, but Cinnamon development is lagging behind and starting to show it.

    Last I tried to use it there was bug that caused compositing to impact game performance, it’s supposed to not do that and there’s a setting to disable compositing for games, but it’s been non-functional for years.

    You can use Mint, but I’d ditch Cinnamon.
