I’m installing a second disk in my desktop, and I’m going to install Linux.

I’ve had dual boot on all my machines since forever. As in decades. I’m an old hand. Perfectly happy in a terminal.

I have Mint in my laptop because lazy.

I’m asking about QOL. The only “Gaming” I do are flight Sims, however I do use some apps which are not Linux native, so I’d need some form of wine or performant VMs.

I’ve been playing with both in VMs, but I can’t get a feel for what my virtualization and wine use would be.

From my trials, both seem comfortable enough.

I’ve heard good things about both.

Opinions?
