I'm experimenting with Pop!_OS on my aging laptop running it on a USB drive. Was happy to see it supports 2-in-1 functionality.

I started on mint a couple months ago and so far I've tried as many distros as I could find. I liked manjaro but then found out about their controversies so I'm currently on endeavour os. Half of the fun for me has been experimenting with different desktops and whatnot, which has gotten me back into computer stuff.

Weird to use a game that decided to drop its official Linux support for this meme

I have literally talked to one person at work, that he might want to try out Linux Mint in VM. Dude have never used Linux, but seems to be skilled enough to install it on his own.
I've installed mint on my laptop, I like it so far. Everything was super easy to get set up, even the graphics drivers

Huh, and i just installed it on my secondary computer (laptop). Maybe i should setup a dual boot on my main one soon and disable network communications in the windows partition, and then migrate ny files slowly until i can confidently get rid of that partition.

Jut put my Mother on mint. Her windows 10 pc is reaching EOS, and I finally convinced her that having to buy a new computer every several years is unacceptable.
Reminder for Windows 10 users who can't upgrade to Windows 11

I'm a Linux noob so I put Mint on my PC. I like it a lot, very smooth and clean looking.

I will likely go back to mint once Windows 10 is done. 11 is pure trash.
The major hang up I have is gaming. I have an Nvidia card and it's never behaved well with Linux. I also like GTAO but I will no longer be able to play it. Most of my other titles work fine.
I don't know what I'm going to do yet.
If your system supports windows 11 then dual boot for the games you want windows support for.
Then you have a bare metal option for those games and you can run whatever distro you want along side it.
I switched to Linux Mint several months ago. Thanks to Proton, All my Steam games that I bought for Windows run great. (I'm using an nVidia RTX 3060). And any older games like "Deus Ex" or "Giants: Citizen Kabuto" run under Wine, using the default settings.

I tried mint for a little bit but ended up using Kubuntu.
If you like Kubuntu because of apt and KDE, don't be afraid of going Debian with KDE next time.
Microsoft added a CoPilot icon to my Windows 10 Taskbar yesterday. It looks to me like they're not going to take "no" for an answer.
They also added a "it's time to upgrade to Windows 11" full screen message on my login screen (with the option to decline in tiny text).
That was my thoughts, too. So, now I'm running Mint on my gaming PC and the one hooked up in my living room for streaming. I tried Kubuntu, and liked it, but KDE Wayland was giving me issues. Installing a different desktop environment just introduced more problems, so I went with a different distro with the DE I wanted, which was Mint with Cinnamon. Now, life is good.
Does anyone else find these OS wars silly? To me an OS is a tool and you should be using whatever tool is best suited for the job. For me I'm regularly switching between all 3 major OS's.
I've got windows systems, Linux systems and MacOS all under regular use at home
Well, most people don't have spare computers at home, so they do actually need to decide. It also means that they can't easily try out different operating systems, so even when they're unhappy with their current OS, they'll rarely inform themselves about alternatives.
