Linux Mint was the distro I chose little less than a year ago when I switched to Linux. Used it with Cinammon at first and then switched to XFCE. It’s been a cool journey and I have def learned a lot.
But over time Mint has left more to be desired, most specifically, more up to date packages. Hence why I’m leaving the Debian / Ubuntu based distros to try OpenSuSE TW with Gnome.
Any advice would be appreciated
That would be my only complaint about OpenSUSE, the default size for partitions is too conservative. it would default to 30gig and even though there is a snapper cleanup, acheduler updates would fill it up. I now add to the recommended x2, and then the partition always hovers around 70%. The scheduled btrfs and snapper cleanup it keep it managed
