I’ve been using Linux Mint since forever. I’ve never felt a reason to change. But I’m interested in what persuaded others to move.

    PopOS!

    It’s supposed to be good for gaming, but a lot of its packages (including the video drivers) are outdated af because it’s based on Ubuntu, so you may have to wait months for a mesa patch that makes a game playable while on Arch I can just install mesa-git and play.

    I also don’t like the Gnome interface and the fact that it casually encourages installing proprietary software, but that’s not relevant given its target audience.

    Yeah, I get it, it’s a distro for novices so obviously it won’t go all freetard on you for installing nvidia drivers, but the fact that it’s so outdated is absolutely inexcusable and can drive users away because games that are marked as playable on steam may not even launch.
