I’m also a big fan of Mint for this, but also Fedora Kinoite. I can’t say I used Kinoite extensively, but I can say the bit I used it was far more stable than any other distro I used (and the backups-for-free approach really helped my anxiety lol)
This is my fourth profile on the Fediverse lol. This time, I’m hoping Mbin is where I stay!

As an engineer with a boss I really do not like and who makes moronic decisions ALL the time (that I then have to go along with), I agree
Good catch, sorry. Lubuntu, I just thought it used XFCE and not LXQt
Yes, this was my experience as well. Linux Lite was literally heavier-weight than Mint on my machine (probably due to the snaps)
I really hate to say this, but Lubuntu.
I enjoyed it for a solid few months (it’s a lightweight XFCE LXQt version of Ubuntu, so it worked great on my very underpowered MacBook Pro from ages ago) so it was heartbreaking when one day, randomly, I couldn’t get past the login screen and my TimeShift backups didn’t work.
If it wasn’t for this out-of-nowhere critical failure, I would say I loved it.
Nice! Congratulations!
This is why I use a Pixel - sadly Google is gonna see this and say “great idea!” and charge for the Pixel AI features too now lol
I started a decade ago on Ubuntu for an after-school cybersecurity club. From there, I eventually tried Mint and then Lubuntu and Kinoite. I’m now using Debian in WSL.
I don’t have any experience with Tuxedo or Framework, so I can’t really comment on those 😅
I have definitely heard Lenovo ThinkPads are great though, and I’m currently rocking a Lenovo Legion Slim 7 which has been fantastic so far (albeit I JUST got it and I’m rolling Windows on it with WSL2 Debian, so not exactly a pure Linux experience).

This sounds like the same issue I went into on my old account multiple times: @BiggestBulb@kbin.social

Honestly, try Battlefield 1942 on single player. It’s not half bad - the AI is about as smart as you would expect, but it’s still fun to fight them. Also, the multiplayer is still going if you wanna try that!
Also, not WW2, but I HIGHLY recommend giving Vietcong a try (both the base game and Fist Alpha). It’s one of the most engrossing games I’ve ever played. If you can get past the derpy (by today’s standards) character models, this game has a seriously compelling campaign and there are still occasional multiplayer matches. If there was ever a game to make the Vietcong and NVA scary as fuck, it’s that one.
