I just want to follow up and say "thank you so much!" I took the dive and partioned out space for Linux Mint. played around with it for a bit and said "fuck it, I love this thing" and did a fresh install on my laptop deleting windows 11.

Holy crap this thing has improved my laptop so much. it's so damn fast, boots up quicklly and believe it or not my battery lasts longer now. I just spent hours customizing how it looks, it's fun, it's great.

Also I was easilly about to install steam, elden ring, Final Fantasy XIV and even World of Warcraft and they all work, and run, better on this machine now.

WoW was actually pretty easy to get going in all honesty. Instead of installing WoW directly on Litrus instead you install Battle.net via Litrus and it simply does the rest, EVEN going that route allowed me to install other blizzard games like Hearthstone without doing anything special.

My only beef right now is I'm having issues customizing the panel like I want. Tried installing polybar and got in a bit over my head with i3wm but I'm sure I'll figure that stuff out soon. Got a cool app launcher going that makes things so much easier, even changed the shell and got zsh going which is great.

I love it, absolutely love it and won't be going back to Windows ever. I imagine once I get a handle of Mint I might switch to a different distro like Arch (I love the look of that and how people have customized it) but for now this is perfect.
