Hi guys, I have a question if you would be so kind. I’m a professional developer looking to finally make a semi break into Linux.

My daily driver is a Legion 5 / 6800H with 3070ti 32GB and I have been running Linux Mint in a virtual box now for a few weeks.

I can’t make a 100% transition over to Linux due to the nature of my work but I could be running at round 80-90% of my work via a Linux OS.

With the above said, I’m finally going to install a dual boot instance today. Is Mint a good starting point? Anyone else have experience with Mint and Legion or would you recommend I start somewhere else? (I have heared many people mention POP OS).

Essentially I want something I can jump head first into and just make a start familiarising myself.

I’m trying to regain some control over my data and a jump to Lemmy and a Jump away from Windows feels like a solid start !

Thank you and keep rocking…

    I agree. I’m on Arch and EOS and whenever I need a guide outside the wiki, 9.5/10 times it has instructions for apt. Makes me want to go back to Mint/Debian sometimes. Lol
