It feels faster and it seems to use up less storage.

It feels like I no longer have to play tug of war with microsoft with owning my own device.

Awesome move. Welcome to Linux. Mint is a great daily driver. It just works. And when something goes wrong, you have the ability to poke around and see in detail what is happening, and fix it with the help of the excellent Linux community.

Not to mention the clear advantage of Linux not spying on you or serving you ads.

Enjoy your new OS!

Do you have any recommendations for RDP?

Right now I run a bunch of windows boxes at home and it's super nice to be able to VPN to home and then RDP into them, the responsiveness is really solid.

I haven't really found a comparable setup with Linux, I tried VNC but the sluggishness was real. I also tried RustDesk, but there were some weird shortcut key issues randomly.

@AlecSadler NoMachine works great on Mint/Ubuntu. It's free and the only intuitive RDP out there I've found so far.
