Hello everyone, I just installed Linux (I’m new to it), in particular Linux Mint, with dual booted Windows for games. Tinkered with it a bit, loved the way it looked, loved how fast it is, but I really don’t want to stop on one option and stick with it for a while. I want to try new stuff, new distros (that’s how you call it, right?), new customisation options etc. I really like setting up things how I want them to look like and function, and I’m not sure Linux Mint gives me the full potential of Linux.

If I’m right, please recommend something that really will impress me with options (I wouldn’t call myself tech savvy, but I like to learn), or, if I’m wrong, please suggest the way to customize the hell out of Mint, would really appreciate it.

Thank you!

edit: Thanks everyone for your replies, I’m really interested in KDE Plasma now. You are the best <3

    You have chosen a distro that’s quite conservative - it’s only LTS versions and while I personally love Cinnamon, I wouldn’t call it very customizable.

    If you want to play and tinker, install either a distro with KDE or install KDE on your Mint, from what I hear it’s customizable as hell. The newest Gnome also looks quite fancy, so that might also be what you’re looking for.

    Note that you can install any desktop environment on your existing Mint, you don’t have to distrohop if you don’t want to. Mint doesn’t have the newest packages, but it’s very stable.
