    Between Mint and Pop_OS: recommendation for how to pick between them?

    Coming from MacOS, haven’t used Windows in a number of years.
    If it would make a difference it’s for a Lenovo Legion Slim 5 (Ryzen 7 7840HS; NVIDIA RTX 4060).
    I want to dual boot, using the Windows side for gaming, for now, and Linux for other tasks.

        Thank you for this comprehensive answer. It brought up some new considerations, but that’s a good thing — like learning about Wayland, switching to/from use of gpu (which I didn’t even know was a thing), and Pop_OS moving away from gnome. I appreciate that you took the time to write this full answer!
