 Currently upgrading to Linux Mint 22. Hopefully all goes well. Who else is running Linux Mint?

I'm getting very close to formatting my Windows 11 dual boot drive and going Linux only (I haven't booted into Windows for a couple months now).

 I'm a former user of Mint. I'm also considering wiping out my Windows partition, since MS wants to sabotage my dual-boot capability.

I've been without Windows before. Unless you're testing environments for software dev, it's really not needed anymore. 
 I did hear about a recent Win update which causes an issue with dual booting, so I'm not looking forward to dealing with that haha. 

What Linux distro do you use?  
 I switched to MX Linux this last year. In short, it doesn't look as slick out-of-the-box, but I'm able to customize A LOT of the UX.

After I got the settings the way I like, it's stayed out of the way, just like a good OS should, and works very well. 
 Came across this in my feed via Troy and another suggestion I can offer is PCLinuxOS 
 Interesting, haven't heard of that one (I am relatively new to Linux).  
 Mint here, too. Considering others. I have had trouble trying to run Bottles /Wine for certain programs I need for work.  
 You're a Linux user too 
 Nice. I'm pretty happy with Mint so far, so not looking to switch anytime soon. There is a fair bit to learn when coming from Windows, but it's worth the effort.  
 I was running Ubuntu, I liked that.  
 I have helped people navigate from Windows/Mac to Krubuntu, it's easy to install onto most people's laptops and has just about every program they'd need pre-installed ready to go for newbies who want to easily switch from Windows.
