Seconding LMDE, been on it for a year on my study laptop. Literally never ever had a problem so far, and being an “out of box” distro there’s minimal work needed to daily drive.

i currently use mint and only want to switch because cinnamon has this weird thing when you have a game running, window resizing is laggy. i often have btd6 running when I’m working so it bugs me. kde doesn’t suffer from that.

i have tried fedora and nobara a few times but they randomly make my hdd unmountable and it’s difficult to get it back. even after installing a different distro.

never heard of this one. definitely going to try it!
