  How are you enjoying it? I’m debating between Mint and Bazzite. I’m a lifetime Windows guy that doesn’t want 11 lol

    Not the person you asked, but I’ve been running Bazzite for close to a year now. While my intention was an easy time installing any Linux on a laptop with dGPU, everything just works so nicely that it’s my daily driver at the moment.
    The only thing that drove me alomost nuts was installing a TFTP server on console. But once I found out about distrobox that was a solution.

      I have no idea what that second sentence means, haha. TFTP? Sounds network related but I’m not familiar.

        It is! TFTP is a protocol, which I use to install firmware on some of my devices.

    Again not the original person you asked, but I found Bazzite a tad too restrictive - I couldn’t for the life of me get PIA’s VPN client installed (for all of those Linux ISOs on my home server).

    Ended up switching to CachyOS, which is also very gaming-focused (and Arch-based, if that matters at all!). It’s a bit more open, allowing you to fiddle (or not) with everything a bit more than Bazzite.

    As an aside, my only hang-up is that it sometimes hangs while trying to boot up the GUI (not sure why, hasn’t bothered me too much), and it can’t wake from Sleep - but I’m pretty sure that’s just something misconfigured in the BIOS.

      This is valuable because while I’m not obsessed with configurations, I do tend to fiddle a bit.

    I have mint in my desktop and bazzite on the htpc/gaming pc.

    If you want to learn to use linux and have a more tradicional pc experience, mint.

    If you want gamming, entertainment, and don’t care about learning about your OS, bazzite.

    It’s difficult to argue against Mint when your use case is a current windows user who just wants to drop Linux in its place.

        If you’re putting it off you might be frustrated afterwards once you see how easy and fast it was, lol. If you make a bootable USB drive, which you should, you can boot to a live desktop and see linux running on your hardware before you install anything to a hard drive.

        I have recently converted from Mint, including a brief stint with LMDE, to good old Debian + KDE Plasma and I absolutely love it. But I am also enough of an enthusiast that the few extra setup steps were fine.
