New PC incoming, should i stick to Mint? (lemmy.world)

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

The only reason to switch distros is because you're unhappy with some aspect of your current distro (doesn't sound like it) or you want to try something on a different distro (also doesn't sound like it). So in short no, you shouldn't switch unless you have a reason for it.
