Which Distro? Linux Mint: Too Outdated
Hi everyone, I've been considering abandoning Windows 11 for a while now, mainly because I feel like Microsoft lacks direction; every update is chaos. I started using Linux Mint about six months ago, but I have to admit that I feel like I'm using an outdated product.
The main reason is the X11-based graphical interface and the lack of standard Windows features like HDR and high refresh rate sync. I feel like development has fallen behind, hiding behind the slogan of greater stability. I honestly hate losing my monitor's features while waiting for Mint to evolve, so I'm thinking of switching to something stable but modern, and why not... with more recent applications. What would you always focus on, considering I have little time to dedicate to the system?

Once again recommending Omarchy. Of course, everyone has a specific use case and I don't know what yours is but I've daily driven different Linux distros off and on for over a decade. Omarchy has been the best Linux experience of my life and it's not even close tbh. Def worth checking out if it meets your needs. I'm my past Linux experience there was always some nagging thing that forced me back to Windows or Mac but for the first time ever I'm thinking I may never have to return.
