New PC incoming, should i stick to Mint? (lemmy.world)

I am pretty new to Linux (a bit over a year) but to be fair, I haven't really messed with it. Once set up, everything works, so I never really use the terminal. to me, it is just an OS, and i don't mess under the hood with it.

I use Mint (Cinnamon) and I am pretty happy with it. My thoughts now are, with a new PC comming, if I should stick to Mint, or install an other distribution?

I use it mainly as a home desktop, but also do some image editing, video editing, learning CAD at the moment and of course a bit of gaming (through Steam)

Any advice is welcomed

If you can I'd stick with Mint. I updated my hardware recently and need kernel 6.14 or newer. I've not been happy with Arch and miss Mint.

I'm thinking of giving NixOS a try as it also supports 6.14.

Try EndeavourOS for an easier Arch.

Unless you really want to try NixOS. Then just pretend I never said anything.

If they've already installed Arch I don't think there's much difference to EndeavourOS. Both use the official Arch repos, and the latter mainly makes installation simpler.
