  Any criteria? If newbie, there is nothing wrong with Linux Mint. If experienced, still there is nothing wrong with Linux Mint.

    For gaming or regular use? I’ve tried both Bazzite and CachyOS on my gaming laptop. Even if I wasn’t a tinkerer I would choose CachyOS any day for gaming. Mint over Ubuntu for regular use. My 2 cents

      You can game just fine on any distribution.

        You certainly can and I have several distros, but Cachy seems to be well suited with gaming. I am very sure I could tweak Mint to be comparable, but out of the box Cachy is a better gamer. One or two clicks and it’s all set.

        Agree. Some are just better suited. I mean I use CachyOS for both gaming and regular use. I was thinking more “is this a workstation or gaming rig” sort of divide. CachyOS have kernel optimizations for gaming, but smarter men than me need to say if that actually has any major impact. And its bleeding edge so you’re always 100% up to date, that can be both good and bad of course. For me it’s good. The two-click setup to have everything installed and done for gaming doesn’t hurt.

      Actually for both. For gaming, both of Bazzite and Cachy is good. I mostly suggest Bazzite for newbies though if it’s gaming related. Cachy is Arch and I don’t suggest Arch to newbies.

    I encourage LMDE because it’s not downstream from Ubuntu

      Nah, Gentoo or Exherbo. Maybe LFS.

      I’m kinda at the other side of the needle, I prefer Void myself.
