    Working pc with low effort? Just use Linux Mint. Is basically an Ubuntu without bloat and less strict on packages. Also cinnamon as desktop is both super windows-familiar and customizable with close to no need for the terminal.

    Gaming pc fast and updated? Catchy OS with a KDE plasma desktop. So you can say to other “I use Arch (derivate) btw”.

      I wish Mint offered KDE out of the box so I could recommend it to people. Cinnamon just looks… I dunno, like the comic-sans of desktops to me.

        I’m going to write a thing and its not wholly insulting but it sums up I think the public sentiment on KDE for the last 15 years: KDE is the “Windows Vista” flavor of desktop environment. I actually like the aesthetic but for some reason it fills everyone who doesn’t like it with an endless rage.

        Is quite customizable and not very heavy. That’s quite enough most of the times.
