Put linux mint on my roomate’s yoga laptop. There was about 3 days intermittently peppered with questions that were easy to answer, and there hasn’t been anything since. Probably the smoothest transition I’ve seen so far.
It’s my daily driver and honestly the main reason why I have a separate gaming computer seems to be owed to the Intel GPU just… Not yet having the drivers it would need
I put CachyOS on the TV PC (hubby’s old gaming rig, he got a new one last year before prices went insane), but I only have Steam on it and haven’t really played much.
Mint is the one I usually recommend for people at the Linux Repair Café I run. I have it on an old HP Pavilion Beats edition laptop. Works well. Helps show what it can do on older hardware.
Last year I gave my stepdad a refurbished Lenovo laptop with Cinnamon edition Mint. He has yet to ask for any help with it, so I’m hoping that means it is working flawlessly
Maybe. But I installed Mint on my 90 year old grandma’s laptop last year and she’s been using it to attend her church’s zoom meetings with no problems.

Mint has been my main distro for over 15 years. It works the best.
Mint definitely is a god send for non tech people with a generic computer usage.
I love it even as a technical person
It’s great for gaming too

Ah dang, yeah if you’re not playing something with kernel anti-level cheat it’s great
Evil tongues might insinuate that they stopped using their laptop in frustration because your roommate doesn’t want to bother you all the time lol.
In sincerity, good job :-)

Now if I could just get the printer to work without having to constantly delete the CUPS cert…
