Why I like linuxmint

[u/SmileyIsLost]

I'm new to linux and I've been distro hopping for a while.

I started it with my old laptop that dosent even have a gpu , windows was killing it so I installed Ubuntu on it, but it was still laggin so I tried to install Arch Linux as a beginner and completly bricked my system with sudo rmrf, months later I somehow managed to unbrick it with a new ubuntu installation. then i installed debian , deleted it and then i installed pop Os on it and it worked relatively well. (4 GB ram btw) I mainly use it for light coding and watching videos or as a secondary monitor.

On my second laptop with a GTX1650 and 16GB ram , I got sick of windows and its ads, i debloated windows but it was still taking up space, then I installed Kali OS only to realise its not a daily drive. then i installed Parrot OS, It was good but I cant get my Nvidia Graphics Card to work on it so I went back to windows.

Finnally I got sick of windows again, they made word paid and disabled the ability to download word,excel 2021 so Ive been using Libre Office and not to mention random updates even after I disabled and debloated it. Since most tools I use are already opensource I decided to Install LinuxMint after binging lot of YT videos

For the first time my NVIDIA graphics card actually works and I can use dual gpu ( i have amd and nvidia gpu) There are times I have to put it on performance mode to use nvidia but it actually works, Ive also managed to run minecraft with an average of 120fps and terreria from steam , I also managed to install a vm and got it to work properly for learning pentesting. I also manged to downlaod vpns and tor( its banned where im at rn) using protonvpn web extention. It's been 2 days and nothing is broken.
