I'm just a friendly neighborhood Blerd studying Cybersecurity and using Mint as my daily OS on my PC (still Windows on my laptop).
My path to Mint started out a bit weird. I started with Kali Linux in a VM, which is way too advanced for a Linux noob, but it happened.
Then Ubuntu > Mint, but the Debbie version > Manjaro > Garuda > Mint (Cinnamon).
So far, I'm really enjoying Mint and the 3 or 4 VMs that I regularly run in Mint
Look at my desktop and be amazed!!!!!! (Ok, probably not, but I like it)
Here's my specs, I know... my gpu is a bit behind the times, but I'm not much of a gamer, so it works for me... except for all the nVidia issues.
