    TL;DR yes, popOS is perfect for that

    My personal getting started advice is as follows

    • use kali Linux in a virtual machine because haha funny 1337 haxor

    • install mint/popOS/ubuntu on either a virtual machin, a spare laptop, or dual boot if you have a spare drive

    • I used mint for school and random tinkering and just gradually got more familiar with the random things I wanted to do or fix

    • this was last year so I’m no where near qualified to talk like a guru of ancient wisdom, take all of this with a grain of salt or possibly just burn it

      Similar to you

      • Kali in VM because hacker
      • Flush Windows and install mint cuz I think I’m a Linux pro
      • Go back to Windows a few months later because did not know that wine existed
      • Go back to Mint after a couple of months cuz Windows was worse.
      • Stay with mint for a year and break some nvidia packages
      • Got annoyed with the lack of customisibility of Mint and got an AMD GPU so jumped to Artix (systemd-less Arch)
      • Still daily drive Artix.
      • Installed Debian on new home server
