I bought my mother a laptop and it came preinstalled with a bunch of games and software that it threw me off, like wtf I dont want or need this what happened, I had a mac at the time and felt limited to what it can or cant do. So last year I built myself a pc and before installing windows I was already looking at steam decks and noted that it seems games runs quite well, so I went with Mint, and there where some features that lacked but discovered I could modify on my on and it just works! I do have to admin that it was a bit different in my work life, since do graphic design, but its been interesting switching over to inkscape and gimp.

I can install it at this moment, so I think it was already fixed

And just for the first couple of days. Once you set it up it works like any other OS. I don’t think most people change the way their pc works every other day. Once you get the hang of it it stays mostly the same. This year I changed full from w10 to mint and no issues since.
