I am pretty new to Linux (a bit over a year) but to be fair, I haven’t really messed with it. Once set up, everything works, so I never really use the terminal. to me, it is just an OS, and i don’t mess under the hood with it.

I use Mint (Cinnamon) and I am pretty happy with it. My thoughts now are, with a new PC comming, if I should stick to Mint, or install an other distribution?

I use it mainly as a home desktop, but also do some image editing, video editing, learning CAD at the moment and of course a bit of gaming (through Steam)

Any advice is welcomed

    Depending on the GPU, you may need to install a PPA and install a newer kernel to get access to more modern GPU drivers to play games, but only if it’s very new hardware.

      I am planning on getting the GTX 5070. Will discuss with my computer pusher tomorrow though. Had asked him for a 4070 but he said they don’t make those any more
