As somebody who's doing the same thing for the first time in almost 2 decades: kubuntu wins for me. Mint was too buggy. It just felt so single-threaded. It had upsides - easiest Nvidia support for example. Cinnamon is nicely customizable and has some great ideas but it's just too rough around the edges. Raw Debian was just too hard to get Nvidia drivers playing nice. But for "I'm comfy editing config files but I need some hand-holding for this" KDE with Ubuntu is the best balance of performance and clean design and support. My biggest disappointment is how little batteries-included gui I'm seeing for core Linux functionality. Where is the systemd service manager? Why are all the file managers so bad at editing permissions? | ||

There are defitely GUIs for managing user services (its called Background services for me) > Why are all the file managers so bad at editing permissions? What does right click and then choose properties in Dolphin not do satisfactorily for you? | ||
