I am pretty new to Linux (a bit over a year) but to be fair, I haven't really messed with it. Once set up, everything works, so I never really use the terminal. to me, it is just an OS, and i don't mess under the hood with it.

I use Mint (Cinnamon) and I am pretty happy with it. My thoughts now are, with a new PC comming, if I should stick to Mint, or install an other distribution?

I use it mainly as a home desktop, but also do some image editing, video editing, learning CAD at the moment and of course a bit of gaming (through Steam)

Any advice is welcomed

I'm currently using Mint, and doing regular backups with Timeshift. I see two possible reasons to switch in the future: if there's ever an update that breaks my system and I don't manage to recover a backup, or newer releases become incompatible with my hardware. So far none of this has happened so I don't see a reason to change.
