Hello everyone, I just installed Linux (I’m new to it), in particular Linux Mint, with dual booted Windows for games. Tinkered with it a bit, loved the way it looked, loved how fast it is, but I really don’t want to stop on one option and stick with it for a while. I want to try new stuff, new distros (that’s how you call it, right?), new customisation options etc. I really like setting up things how I want them to look like and function, and I’m not sure Linux Mint gives me the full potential of Linux.

If I’m right, please recommend something that really will impress me with options (I wouldn’t call myself tech savvy, but I like to learn), or, if I’m wrong, please suggest the way to customize the hell out of Mint, would really appreciate it.

Thank you!

edit: Thanks everyone for your replies, I’m really interested in KDE Plasma now. You are the best <3

    Install steam and test which of your games will run in mint. Some might require proton, but I’m sure you’ll find that you don’t need that many reboots.

    In my opinion, the full potential of linux is gained via the command line. The GUI is just an abstraction layer, and various distros have various approaches to this abstraction. Comman line familiarity is far from a necessary step, but it sure is a useful one.
