One of the many reasons I use mint is it does things better significantly than Ubuntu based distros

Don't know how different it is with buntu I know mint does extra things. I'd you like the cinnamon desktop mints the best bet

Personally I prefer jellyfin but I'll usually stick Foss where Icabn

Truthfully it comes with nvidoa drivers pre installed.

Personally I run mint and its just a couple of clicks to get it installed in mint. I tried pop is didn't like it that much and gave me less stability with some of my use cases

Kind of reminds me what half-life did for PC controls

Thankfull y I don't have to stress with tinkering on mint but I get the advantages nixos has

Depending on the game tinkering may not be needed. With proton most of my games except like dead by daylight it was install and press play

Tis one of many reasons I run Linux mint
