I generally seem to have had a good experience with Linux Mint. I use the cinnamon version.
Even dist upgrades don’t seem to be too much trouble.
I used to main Gentoo but that was a lot of work. I still miss it though, but that was almost 20 years ago, when I was unemployed, and had more free time than money.
I run Windows 10 on my personal laptop and I look at these changes for the sake of change and I am seriously considering wiping it and not just use Linux in a VM.
