Thank you! When people say "customizing" (throughout this thread and others) what are they referencing? For instance, just the desktop layout/formatting, or the way the files are structured, or the kinds of software they are using for tasks?

That's true, most of what I do would be in a browser as a casual user. My work laptop would still be running Windows and doing what I "need" (Excel, SolidWorks, etc.) Although I want to keep the ability to torrent and manage my media files nicely, I'm open to using different softwares than I'm used to for those.

Okay great! What made you make that jump?

What makes it the best, in terms of distro and desktop experience?

Okay great! An interesting tea combination: Mint with Cinnamon :) do most desktop environments work with most distros, or is there a list per each distro?

Thank you for the response! Those you said are getting a lot of mentions so I think Mint will be a good first choice to make the swap.

This is perfect! Thanks for linking it!

Lots of suggestions for Mint so it seems that's a good choice for me! Thank you!

Thanks! Why specifically an NVIDIA card?

Oh that's a shame.

Okay thank you for clarifying!

That's a great response! Thank you, that helps a lot.
