I got thrown in the deep end professionally with slackware years ago and i personally think pop is satans taint, so don’t feel bad.
Been playing with mint on media server builds, works pretty well (apart from aforementioned usb caching), just adjusting to the flatpak sandboxing. Also works well with retroarch and my 8bitdos but i haven’t fired up the n64 emu yet.
Daily driver is kubuntu, the biggest issue with both is if you have a mixed os system - the ol “won’t network browse or auth as guest on a win machine share” unless you use cifs.
This feels like a very friendly and supporting comment, so I appreciate it, but I’m not gonna lie, about half of what you said may as well be Korean to me it’s so unfamiliar.
Flatpaks is a software control architecture. So instead of having files and executables able to talk to each other across the OS all willy nilly they’re kept in little pens. This means the file locations change from what you automatically go to look for
8bitdos are retro feel wireless controllers, retroarch is an emulation software package for playing old console games on a pc. I haven’t tested how the nintendo 64 emulator (notoriously hardcore) runs on mint yet.
Daily driver is my default go to pc to use. I run kubuntu on that. If you have windows-based servers or pcs that you’re gonna mix with linux, kubuntu and mint have issues browsing to windows file shares with their default network browsers. You need to use what’s called “cifs” instead, plenty of documentation if you need to poke about.
