I was in the same boat but Linux Mint just literally worked. Easiest transition ever. I keep my Windows dual boot because I need MS Office for work but I'm in mint 95% of the time with no tinkering.
Glad it worked well for you. Didn't work well for me with my 2070 super. Was immediately broken and refused to acknowledge my second monitor. Linux Mint worked perfectly, so I just want to throw that out there for anyone with the same gpu
Imagine you're being recorded and you have to watch it back later. Sometimes it's easier to see ourselves from others perspective than our own. Patience is a skill, you have to use it to get good at it
I recently installed Linux Mint on my laptop and all video play on Firefox stutters. I'm using chrome temporarily since that works fine until I fix it. Idk if it's the same issue but just throwing it out there.
Because it's extremely easy to look up, it's a very popular story right now.
