New PC incoming, should i stick to Mint? (lemmy.world)

I am pretty new to Linux (a bit over a year) but to be fair, I haven't really messed with it. Once set up, everything works, so I never really use the terminal. to me, it is just an OS, and i don't mess under the hood with it.

I use Mint (Cinnamon) and I am pretty happy with it. My thoughts now are, with a new PC comming, if I should stick to Mint, or install an other distribution?

I use it mainly as a home desktop, but also do some image editing, video editing, learning CAD at the moment and of course a bit of gaming (through Steam)

Any advice is welcomed

Nice. Hope that Nix works out for you then.

I'm still figuring out where I really fall on the stability spectrum. Love the idea of stability, hate the idea of old packages. I'll be looking at stable releases with Flatpaks at some point for my more work-oriented machines.
