Ditched Windows 10 for Garuda Linux. Very happy with the decision. Did try PopOS for a bit, but much more happy with Garuda plus the customization of KDE.

    Good choice in my opinion! It was my first distro on my desktop. The btrfs filesystem and snapshots helped me a few times when I broke my system while experimenting and it worked well for gaming. The Chaotic AUR is nice too with pre-compiled AUR packages

      I picked it for the gaming aspect. I only use my tower for gaming, I’m still deciding what to put on my laptop that I use for all other activities. It’s running Pop w/ Gnome right now but I haven’t really done any research on what would work best.

        I think many would say Linux Mint is a good laptop distro but I don’t have any experience with PopOS. Today I use Arch on my desktop and my laptop. Mom and tech illiterate people I help gets Mint
