I use Windows for my desktop PC but I’m also a fan of Linux for work and programming.
I’m not really liking the direction windows is taking so it would be nice to explore some other alternatives. I mostly use my desktop for gaming, so I’m interested in how people are gaming on Linux
Another big benefit to Mint is its huge userbase means an equally big community and lots of user support.
I’d say for a first time user its a very easy transition.
