I’m still new to Linux (experimenting since like may, using primarily since August) but I just can’t figure out why people insist on recommending Linux mint. Maybe I’m missing something here, but if you are looking for windows-esque UI then kde plasma is way better than cinnamon, and if you want stuff like better driver handling and “noob friendly” tools like pop! Os has then tuxedo os is the same deal as pop! Os but with plasma. I did try Linux mint when I was just trying to figure out what distro to use and it’s one of two distros (other one is mainline Ubuntu) where I had major issues out of the box. Even if that weren’t the case, I just don’t see how it’s relevant at all when something like tuxedo os is there doing the same thing with a better desktop environment.
