Linux Mint produces a modern, elegant and comfortable operating system that is both powerful and easy to use. It’s great, from installation to use it is very easy and compatible. Switching from Windows to Linux Mint as my daily driver has been a great way to keep old hardware alive.
if you have old hardware and are switching from windows the hardware will more often than not be faster on Linux.
pros
First of all, I love it because it is free and brings everything you need to use it immediately. the community and documentation are top-notch.
cons
Poor support for gaming. No standard edition available
