Distro-hopped a lot till I landed on Manjaro with XFCE desktop environment. Been daily driving it for about a month now without any complaints. There is an option to install with NVIDIA drivers as well.

Jut put my Mother on mint. Her windows 10 pc is reaching EOS, and I finally convinced her that having to buy a new computer every several years is unacceptable.

God I hope there will be a good enough solution for professional audio stuff when Win 10 is done. This and when will the new proper CAD software.

It sucks ass, but I don't see how one will be able to change to Linux in those spaces on a professional level. All my private stuff is on Linux systems, though.

I put Mint on a PC for my dad because it's first thing easy for him to use and second a 32-bit machine and Mint the best choice I found that runs on that.

I have literally talked to one person at work, that he might want to try out Linux Mint in VM. Dude have never used Linux, but seems to be skilled enough to install it on his own.

or a distro using kde plasma.
