Only beacuse there are a couple of softawares that I need that don’t run well in Bottles (Nitro Pro and an old app for anothere thing). It’s a laptop with CPU i7 and a NVIDIA graphic card 1050 ti. Which distro would be best suited for the task? Is Mint ok? Thank you.

    i’ve used linux in the past for servers so i did have some background but when i switched on my desktop from windows to linux, i jumped right into mint and it’s been one of the best experiences. setup was pretty easier; i recommend using a live usb to test it out since you can install right from there.

      Even though I use EndeavourOS (Arch easy installer), I won’t hesitate to vouch for Mint. I’m using its Cinnamon desktop environment (DE) and it’s the best user experience I’ve had after having used Xfce, KDE Plasma, Budgie, Gnome, et cetera.
