Well i was joking previously. But Mint should be great and before installing you can play around in live usb and check if everything works well
Thanks. I just gotta get my wife to hurry up and buy her own thing.
You can try making a virtual machine with a 20 GB virtual hard drive to try out different Linux distros in the meantime.
Thanks. I will look into learning how to do this.
To make things simpler in the long run, I recommend looking into using Ventoy on a thumb drive, if you'd like to just try out various versions of Linux without installing anything. There are handy guides on YouTube.
You still can make a live USB and check if everything works and play around. Just don't proceed with installation wizard. But remember since its live mode things you save there will not exist(by default) after reboot. Yes you can run linux without installing
Good to know. Thank you.
I have a proton account so I can just save the files there.
Well that also applies to settings and everything. Its a test environment which have temporary storage till reboot. Even apps you install may not exist. But there is some way that you can make the live environment save changes though, someone else has already suggested you ventoy
try cinnamon with mint on a 'live USB' so you can try before installing. and see if your ram is broken, or if windows is fucking you for cheaping out on the license.
