Yeah Mint is pretty good for a “starter” Linux OS. This is subjective, but of all the Desktop OSs, I found myself fixing shit in terminal and nailing down obscure issues a lot less often in Mint than other distros. Also, whenever a friend/family member came to me with a very old and “broken” laptop that needed saving that’s what I’d throw on there. Modern Windows is way too much for the 4GB RAM dual core or whatever bullshit on those old machines. The only complaints I ever got out of them were that they couldn’t run .exes and had to use LibreOffice instead of desktop Office apps, but that’s about it. No crashes outside of legitimate equipment failure.

I ran it on my personal machines before I got more comfortable. Now my ideal setup is KDE/Debian though playing around with cachyOS in VMs has been pretty fun.

Just repasted both of mine with phase change materials and thermal putty, including GPU dies. Looking at getting better/more fans and a smarter hub soon. Gonna make this 5800X3D last as long as possible; I’m in this for the long haul lol

sounds like someone has never watched the 2006 film “The Da Vinci Code”, based on the 2003 Dan Brown novel of the same name
