Also, Linux mint is derived from Debian/Ubuntu and uses the same update/package manager. (Apt, but you don’t need know this yet)

That just means that just about anything that is supports Ubuntu, mostly likely is also supported by Linux mint.

And it seems protonVPN is indeed one of those cases.

And updating your system and all installed software is a breeze and happens in one go.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed has great KDE implementation. Best I found and stuck to last time I hopped around.

Rolling release yet super stable. Great configuration tools.

Whatever you choose you should enable zram! It’s a Linux kernel module so available on all distros. It makes a compressed partition on the ram.

I’ve had a ThinkPad with 8 GB of ram and it was night and day with zram enabled. Just used the defaults, no more stutter or hanging for minutes. I used Tumbleweed.

UFO 50 is fantastic.

Got a favourite yet? A friend and I have been paying a lot of lord’s of disconia and party house most recently.

For anyone not familiar, UFO 50 is an anthology of 50 games in the style of nes/SNES era. It’s made by Derek Yu, who made Spelunky before it.
