So, this sucks. On Mint, Firefox was running super sluggish to the point of being unusable. I reinstalled Ubuntucinnamon because I enjoyed using it when I had it installed, but between me last having it installed and now there seems to have been an update that has broken cinnamon's system tray. Which, for me, is a major functionality.

I really don't want to twiddle my thumbs waiting and trying to figure out why shit isn't working right, but I really do like the cinnamon de. ugh

ideas?

Recently switched over from Windows to Pop_OS! as a daily for the first time, and I am loving every second of it! As a convert from Windows to Linux who also likes to dabble in some advanced stuff, Pop_OS! was very easy to get into. In the past I've tried Arch but it was too much work to get to my liking.

Totally agree. I've tested over 40 distributions over the years with mixed results. I've been using Pop!_OS for five years now and still loving every second of it. It has been stable, easy to use out-of-the-box and the devs are cutting edge awesome. Pop!_OS differs from nearly all other distributions due to System76 being an open source hardware sales company - They absolutely need a stable OEM operating system at all times. I could elaborate further, but I think the vote of confidence should be enough for OP to look for themselves.
