I - a complete Linux-illiterate - have spent the last seven months trying and mostly failing to get Linux to work on my desktop.

What went wrong? Well, you name it!

I too am back on Mint after years wandering the wilderness. It's really good.

Honestly, yeah. Bazxite looks neat, but it's new and I'm still not sure what the point of it is, beyond a little bit of nerdy software management features.

Ubuntu is .. gestures vagely ... Ubuntu. Regular debian doesn't really work well for steam related activities, and I haven't actually tried fedora in ages but it looks to be doing okay at least.

It's just, mint is so basic, but that's honestly its greatest selling point. I love having good fundamental be the main selling point.
