i very much agree for graphical programs, though i feel like cli tools should partially be an exception. i don’t really want my tmux to be a flatpak i think 😅

this! and whilst i don’t know the hardware support for new framework models on mint, i recon it’s pretty good.
honestly, most of the games i wanna play are totally fine and might run even better on linux. what is something to keep in mind is anti linux anti cheat: https://areweanticheatyet.com/ besides, you can check https://www.protondb.com/ to get a rough overview of what you can play. out of all the games i’m playing only one isn’t working rn, cuz the screen ratio is messed up (it’s a small rather unknown game) but really many games are fine. i use steam and heroic games launcher, and they’re great. f nvidia tho. they can be a true pain in the butt (on windows too though…)
at first i thought your suggestion was to feed the machine racist cops to find them and got all hyped ):
im currently baking this into our hpc. people gotta see the train!
reminder to send tips and tricks <3
having used a variety of distros, i can recommend linux mint. ubuntu used to put a lot of effort into keeping debian based distros very modern before it fell off and became something i really don’t like, and now mint has taken its place. mint takes from ubuntu what is an improvement/ modernisation over debian and strips out all the crap. mint therefore is a major, if not the driving, force that maintains modern snaps (with debian maintaining very very stable ones)
so, mint is cool :D
