I’m planning on moving to linux from windows(personal) and macos(work use), although I prefer mac os, so I don’t really want to use mint, and I feel like I should add that I don’t care if GNOME isn’t that similar to macos, I want something different, and I also use my computer for gaming

    I’ll be that guy - I still default to Ubuntu. The concerns about snap are valid but it’s still a rock solid OS. Every server I have has been running it for years, virtually no problems except during upgrades if I’m careless about config updates.

      I’ve use Ubuntu and a lot of other distros are based on Ubuntu. When I switched from Windows to Linux, I wanted to have the desktop look different from Windows. Some people want that familiar look of Windows. It’s a matter of taste.

      I tried PopOS, but it’s Nvidia driver was behind what Ubuntu was running, so I went back to Ubuntu. But the Linux community hates Nvidia and Snap. I have an Nvidia card, and it plays my games and looks great. Snap doesn’t bother me. BUT Linux is great in that there is so much choice with many distros. Try them and see which one you like.
