The real hard part of linux is decision. I'm indecisive af so deciding a distro and then a de took forever. I'm still going back and forth on gnome and plasma. My only issue with gnome is I cant seem to get my top bar centered (cant find extensions) and only in the middle which was easy on plasma.
I bounced between them both. Decided on Mint with Cinnamon because it just works without fuss.
I like Arch because I love minimalist stuff and love having the latest software available. However, I always had small niggles where my Linux experience would fail me and end up spending time trying to fix it. In the end I booted more into Windows to just avoid it. I wiped and installed Mint at the weekend as I wanted to spend less time tinkering and just using it instead. I'm happy with the decision so far.
