I switched to Linux Mint Cinnamon from Windows 11 a couple of months ago and I haven’t had any issues at all ¯_(ツ)_/¯ and I don’t know dick about computers. If you do plan to tweak anything you can use timeshift to create a “snapshot” where if things get screwed up, you can just revert to the settings you had before.
I haven’t tried to game on it yet. I would only be playing Disco Elysium or Hades or something but I think it would be fine. I downloaded a VM so that I can use Microsoft Office for school if I need to, and that works for me. Its a little laggy which is annoying, but that might have more to do with my VM settinfs. I like it a lot.
I have a thinkpad with AMD Ryzen 7, 16GB RAM 512GB SSD
