This is asked EVERY year. If it is, then a lot of credit has to be given to Valve/Steam and Proton.

Just bought a used laptop to put linux on to and finally get off the windoze system. I think I'm going to try "mint" first.

Mint is a good "first start" os. Most things just work and there is a good community behind it. Since it's based off of Ubuntu (Debian) you can usually just google ubuntu fixes if you run into a problem and it will work on Mint too. Once you get used to it you will be able to translate on your own easily.

Thanks. I like using windows command line and powershell as much as I can (I larp knowing what I'm doing). All the command line stuff in linux looks a bit daunting but also fun to learn and figure out.

If you have been using powershell and like it then learning bash/zsh/etc will be easy. Powershell is Microsoft's sad attempt at the Linux command line but for windows.

If you run into problems just post in /s/linux a lot of us use it daily at home or work or both and are happy to help.
