I’m planning on moving to linux from windows(personal) and macos(work use), although I prefer mac os, so I don’t really want to use mint, and I feel like I should add that I don’t care if GNOME isn’t that similar to macos, I want something different, and I also use my computer for gaming

    Why have you narrowed it down to those two options, if I may ask? Between those two, I’d go for Pop_OS but if you are open for another suggestion, you may want to look at EndeavourOS, which is based on the same Linux distribution as SteamOS (since you said you also want to game).

      I don’t think we should recommend any rolling release to beginners, I love Arch but that’s just going to cause issues!

        Yeah, you’re probably right. Haven’t had any issues the last time I used Manjaro, though. But that’s only anecdotal evidence at best.

      +1 for EndeavourOS. Just installed it on an older notebook (ThinkPad X220) and damn, was it a breeze to set up properly.
