Switched to PopOS on my desktop and Mint on the ancient laptop my gf had laying around. No real complaints. Games run fine. Browser runs fine. I had some trouble getting mint installed on the old laptop, but the internet had a solution.

I think the install process is kind of daunting for many users, but once it's going I think the average user won't have any problems. Windows, by contrast, is kind of aggressive with its "GOING TO UPDATE NOW" and "don't you want to use one drive???"
