Ah ok, I misread your comment. Indeed having to worry about things like rpm or deb is totally a downer for someone just looking for a windows alternative.

Mint is also what I tend to recommend. Though Gaming users that are looking for a plug and play experience, I'm unsure if it would be better recommending something arch-based or an atomic image based distro like bazzite.

Hi, random new Linux user, as someone who games, and does Inkscape / Davinci stuff. Bazzite is awesome, mostly just works. Wife uses it too now and it's pretty great. Only one issue I have is in relation to Bluetooth acting up on my system. Occasionally.

Great to know. I also love Inkscape despite a couple of nasty crashes due to abusing paths, I can't believe it's free software.

Bluetooth also acts on mine and it's not Bazzite, it's just that bluetooth is mischievous.
