Yes, unfortunately. Although, if you enable the firewall and don't install stuff from unvetted sources, you should be mostly fine, probably. But 10 people isn't enough to maintain a whole ass distribution.

This actually happened to me. It is related to kernel version mint is using, it causes problems with AMD chips.
Also had sound problems.

2018 user oldfag here who has tried every OS every Windows, all Linux distros, all BSDs and is now on a Macbook Air 15 M4

Here is the os end game redpill:

If your concern is performance your machine is probably old: -> use old Windows that your machine came with.

If your concern is privacy use an airgapped machine + don't use state/regional services/websites (ie if your merican don't use google, if you're russian don't use yandex). For the airgapped machine use WINDOWS since Linux cannot into self-contained/static linked software

If your concern is "just werks" use MacOS, pretty self-explanatory.

As you can see, Linux is out of the equation here, Linux is dogshit, no cap. These faggots still don't know how to draw windows on the desktop and have just awhile ago implemented fractional scaling. The 2 main desktops: GNOME is a schizo-designed, autism-approved iPad parody and KDE is an eternal bugfest. As are all the other desktop environments, which have 0, zero quality control.

For some reason Mint (cinnamon and XFCE) bogged down to a stop when browsing my pictures folder (full of decades of 4chan shitposting images, one can imagine) which only slowed down Windows 7 a bit.
>>106641812
and for some reason Endeavour and Cachy handled it a bit faster than Windows.
I dunno if it's Arch or KDE or Dolphin or something else to blame but it wasn't what I expected.
>>
>>106641884
I have the same issue with Mint, I've only tried it in virtual machine, but it always gets unusably slow after a while and I haven't had this issue with the other big distros I've tried.

Lots of work has been done on nvidia in the last few years. It's been solved on some distros. Also please recommend this video to others if you ever see them asking about nvidia on linux.

An update bricked my system. Couldn't save it with either time shift or old kernels. I also had a problem with my bootloader breaking for no reason sometimes. I switched to Debian, and it's given me far less issues.

>>106646256
My laptop is already on Fedora. I'll use Massgrave on my desktop to switch to Win10 Enterprise and get 3 more years of updates, though I'll be long gone from Windows before then. I just need my current workflow for a little longer since I'm not ready for Davinci Resolve yet.

It's my distro of choice for a couple years now and it's been mostly functional out of the box as I chose the hardware components to be compatible. My main board was too new so I had to use an ethernet2usb converter but I guess I could check whether the drivers are up to date by now.
Mint is the perfect distro for me. Not too stable like Debian and not as bloaty as Ubuntu.
