Personally, I wouldn’t advocate for Ubuntu or anything downstream of Ubuntu (like Mint). Debian, at least, is free from Canonicals corporate shenanigans.
True; however, Debian’s update schedule is its blessing AND a curse, and old packets may result in lacking features (which can be frustrating) and lackluster performance in certain applications. And while you can use Flatpaks for some of it, system tools are not installed this way, and sandboxing brings its own set of issues.
That’s not to say Debian is bad on desktop - Debian 12 is great and it runs on my laptop and I couldn’t be happier - but the limitations are there.
Also, as far as I’m aware, Mint does modify Ubuntu to exclude some of Canonical’s “features”
Anyway, if you want a sleek up-to-date system that is completely independent of Ubuntu, Manjaro remains a solid pick. Rolling release means you’ll get the latest and greatest, and packet retention means you don’t have to dip into unstable territory that is the domain of pure Arch.
There is also Mint Debian if you want Mint. But honestly, distro doesn’t matter at all to most users. Pick any desktop environment that looks nice to you and go for it.
I beat Elden ring and doom eternal on Linux. Not sure what “top 3” are in your eyes, or what time we are talking about. Oh, I also beat cyberpunk 2077 on Linux too.
Not sure what you mean by “top 3 games”, while I’ve never been interested in anything that uses anticheat, literally everything else I try to play on it works
And for anticheat stuff, this explains pretty well what does/ doesn’t work
Interestingly those are all games where the devs themselves decided not to be compatible, LoL was even compatible earlier this year before they implemented their current anti cheat system
Personally speaking client side anti cheats, particularly those that run at kernel level, are something you’d have to pay me a significant amount to install on my computer, but that’s me
Debian + KDE Plasma, folks.
Believe me, you don’t need Windows.
Debian for work, Mint for work and games, Manjaro for latest & greatest of Linux (and games) without headache.
Arch for those who love pain and micromanagement.

If you are not a creator or a gamer may be…
I run DaVinci resolve in Linux just fine…
Lol try to run the top 3 games and tell me.

Interesting site. That’s what I did mention by top 3: LoL, Fortnite, or Valorant are not supported due to anticheat. Those are the most played games.

Linux is great for both these days.
