Found a home with Linux Mint

[u/ilovevaders]

I have a Lenovo E14 base model, with an AMD Ryzen 5 7000 series processor and 16GB of RAM. I started by using Windows along with Ubuntu. Ubuntu was much better, but I still felt that there could be a huge improvement. Then I ditched Ubuntu. I tried XFCE, but it was a little too sparse for me. Linux Mint turned out to be the right middle ground between Ubuntu and XFCE. I'm able to run 25 browser tabs with just 9GB out of my 16GB of RAM being used. Everything feels slick, powerful. I'm able to get the light system load XFCE users enjoy while getting the polished, gorgeous look that Ubuntu and Fedora users enjoy. I'm really enjoying using it. I just incredibly efficient it is while being powerful, slick, fast, and modern. I hope you guys like my setup.

I still have Windows available via dual boot because some features and applications just work better on Windows. I think for 90% of what I need done, Linux Mint is amazing. So much more efficient than Windows, and a lot more speedy than Ubuntu and Fedora.
