Many are rollback to Windows 10, but Linux is increasing as well.

I think sometimes there are hits and misses when installing a distro. Could not get Mint to boot after installing it so I ended up installing Debian - where Mint should be easier to get going, Debian did it perfectly fine for me.

Oh, definitely! I got my eyes on PopOS but I have a feeling I'll need an afternoon to do it

Sometimes the pain is worth the gain :D Just not so many free afternoons for me in the next while, otherwise I would be trying Arch ... but for now I will be using set it and forget it Debian.
