Why?
On my desktop I use cachyOS but my laptop (2021 dell xps, I think 8th gen Intel) is running mint

Edit: I’ve misread your post. I thought you said that mint was horrible on newer CPUs and was confused

I switched from win11 to cachyOS a few months ago and are never going back. For gaming it just works, my only struggle right now is some audio configuration to get a virtual amplifier for my guitar to work.
But troubleshooting on Linux is so so much better than on windows, because 99,999% there’s a solution in comparison to windows were often it’s just “well, we disabled the solution to the problem, so tough luck”.

I’m running 32GB ram, rtx4080 and a 5800x on a dual monitor setup (32" 21:9 and 24" 16:9). Was basically plug and play.

I gave a delivery service a bad review once because they didn’t deliver my food, said they would reimburse me and that didn’t happen either.
The owner had the review removed as “false accusations” so I provided google with the chat in which the owner apologised for the missing delivery and offer me a voucher. Still got deleted because of “false accusations”.
There are even more reviews popping up from other people that didn’t get their food. They also get deleted.

Google reviews are worth shit.
