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?

    I suggest Mint, don’t know if you’ve tried it but it seems like the best choice.

    Bazzite is a gaming focussed distro and if you don’t really game you don’t need it. I tried using OpenSUSE and it’s really apparent that they’re focused more on system administrators than desktop users (and system administrators are the only ones they monetize).

    In all serious, do you actually have any problems with Mint? Can’t really answer if we don’t know what you’re dissatisfied with in your current setup. I myself tried OpenSUSE because I wanted to give KDE a shot.
