lazy mode is Mint. It works, its a Deb/Ubu offshoot there is plenty to not like about it if you have been running *nix for a long time but if it is a daily driver its got a large community and mostly just works.
I know I already told you that you can DM me if you want but I am also a tech nerd so you can DM me about that too. I also have a self-hosted remote support system if you are trusting and need help with something.
Mint is on my short list also, but the big issue with it is the host it's drawing from. I know they've disabled Snaps by default, but as Ubuntu keeps going down it's rabbit hole, the offshoots like Mint and Pop will eventually have to make hard choices. I DO like Cinnamon a lot though. My current install uses KDE, and it has annoying shit that I never had using a GTK based DE.
I may just suck it up and do an Arch install script, cause the AUR is a hard bitch to quit. Dunno yet. Have to wait till next month, regardless, cause Comcast has a shitty data cap in my area
Data cap sucks but yeah, I have been playing around with arch as well. Sometimes I just do the "fuck it, it works" thing but that is why I multi-boot.
I hate it but I still have a windows partition. It exists to be my "games I like to play don't work right in *nix". Windows is basically a game console at this point.
I would not mind more chat in the linux or linuxgaming sub about stuff like this. Could save bandwidth too.
Either way, some of us have done this shit before, ask and it is amazing the amount of people that respond.

I agree. Online documentation tends to be either non-helpful or overly elitist. I don't think Linux will ever get to a point of widespread adoption specifically because of that. Shit, with the kinds of stuff happening with SystemD, screwball distro decisions (Red hat cutting off CentOS, Ubuntu being a nigger, etc.), BSD is starting to look kind of appealing too. Waiting to see if people follow that trend and get Steam working reliably on it.
