No worries, appreciate the insight!

Appreciate the advice; I may just follow it considering how positive an experience Mint has been.

Thanks all for the helpful replies! I do have a second ssd, I can probably dump everything there before I format my m2 ssd. I do primarily game thru steam, I’ve got icue software that isn’t compatible but I believe I can use openrgb. Nvidia card also, is it just driver related?

I put Mint Cinnamon on an older laptop just this past weekend and had a lot of fun with it. Are there any migration tips for my main Windows machine? I was thinking of going with Bazzite since it’s my gaming box. What about saved game data and whatnot? I was reading about Putty and SSH ing over to the laptop, but I’m not sure what a good strategy is for my desktop.

Super cool, I’m very interested

Literally what the first amendment is supposed to protect, but Americans are only interested in freedumbs, such as dying of preventable diseases or being mad at trans folks for existing.
