Switched to Linux Mint years ago and never looked back...
Watching windows users complain about windows is like watching a crack whore come out of the crack house, tell you crack is bad, then turn around and go right back into the crack house.
Amusing really.
How'd you get it to boot?
I've tried to run Mint several times over the years, and every time it fails spectacularly. It usually has major problems with Nvidia drivers in my case and hard freezes the system. You can try the binary drivers from Nvidia, but that's just a black screen. Good times.
I have an AMD laptop so it's not a problem for me. You should check out Pop OS, it's the only distro I know of that includes Nvidia drivers.
I did get Kubuntu to work on a system and then it couldn't save the WiFi password. It asked me to type it in every time it booted or woke up from a sleep. People kept saying the solution is to install Gnome Wallet or some shit, but it was already installed. Tried removing it and reinstalling but no luck. Every time I try to get Linux to go on a system I waste about a day trying to make it work before I give up. And that's a guy who's been building systems since 1995. I can't imagine how difficult it is for someone with less experience from back in the day when you had to manually configure everything in Windows, too.
Ive had no issues getting mint to boot on nvidia cards.
I run arch as a daily driver for the last 2 years. but before that i was on mint for a while.
Oh, it boots. It's just that a few minutes later the system hangs.
