Linux Mint is still going strong after being my daily driver for 4 months, and I don't think i will be going back anytime soon. - eviltoast

And yes I looked it up and it was the game’s fault, elite dangerous odyssey can be fickle even when I had Windows 🤷‍♂️

    I always liked Mint when I daily drove it years ago. Nowadays since Steam appears to be more user-friendly I’m wondering if I should try something like Pop so I don’t have to do any troubleshooting / run a dual-boot just to run games.

      When I was distro hopping to discover what would be my daily driver I found POP annoying to handle some of the more day-to-day tasks A lot of unnecessary fluff and handlebars around the place. I feel like Mint doesn’t give you training wheels. Rather it just teaches you why things are the way they are. For example on the first-time boot PopOS. when prompting me to update some programs, it failed and crashed the package manager leaving me clueless and forcing me to open it again and sort out that I needed to update the package manager. Meanwhile, over on Mint’s first-time boot, the update manager refused to let me continue with updates until I updated the package manager FIRST, then explained to me what each symbol meant and how to update things. I may have already known what everything did, but it was still far more helpful in the short term and a cleaner experience.
