As an early Linux adopter who tried everything under the Sun, I can only say that Mint is absolutely awesome.

Gimp, Oh my ZSH and VS Code.

I meant that as a humorous wish. Apparently it didn’t work.

Because it’s fine the way it is. They can ask newbie questions over there, while we try to have more interesting discussions over here. /s

It seems the other answers already covered what you needed to know, so I won’t be redundant here. Pro tip: if you rarely use your Windows installation, you might consider moving it into a virtual machine that you can conveniently boot from within your running Linux system. This way you wouldn’t need the dual boot anymore, which might be desirable for various reasons.

Slackware back in '96 when It was the only option. Then tried everything else before settling on Mint and never having to worry about picking another distribution again.

I feel you and that’s the main reason why I eventually give up on Linux discussion groups. “Is Linux ready”? Yeah, it’s been ready for decades now. I sometimes wonder if these annoying posts are just FUD coming from Apple and Microsoft.
