Linux Mint & PopOS are both based on Ubuntu and I'd say both are way better experience because of lack of snaps
2 of the best distros for begginers. Cant go wrong with either
It's amazing how little Mint needs to run. Both my Mint machines are Core 2 Duos I've had for over a decade. They don't feel sluggish at all doing browsing and general messing around. Granted, Mint is running off of SSDs.
All Linux distros have much lower minimum requirements compared to Windows; everyone should question Microsoft WHY? Mint will do everything (and more) that Windows does with way less memory. My Solus KDE distro runs at ~700mb of memory at ideal.
I am still waiting (and most likely will keep waiting for long time) for Linux to run all AAA games without any shenanigans and issues. Until then Windows all the way!
