I'm a former user of Mint. I'm also considering wiping out my Windows partition, since MS wants to sabotage my dual-boot capability.

I've been without Windows before. Unless you're testing environments for software dev, it's really not needed anymore.

I did hear about a recent Win update which causes an issue with dual booting, so I'm not looking forward to dealing with that haha.

What Linux distro do you use?

I switched to MX Linux this last year. In short, it doesn't look as slick out-of-the-box, but I'm able to customize A LOT of the UX.

After I got the settings the way I like, it's stayed out of the way, just like a good OS should, and works very well.

Came across this in my feed via Troy and another suggestion I can offer is PCLinuxOS

Mint here, too. Considering others. I have had trouble trying to run Bottles /Wine for certain programs I need for work.

Nice. I'm pretty happy with Mint so far, so not looking to switch anytime soon. There is a fair bit to learn when coming from Windows, but it's worth the effort.

I was running Ubuntu, I liked that.

I have helped people navigate from Windows/Mac to Krubuntu, it's easy to install onto most people's laptops and has just about every program they'd need pre-installed ready to go for newbies who want to easily switch from Windows.
