I'm glad you had a better experience than I did. The past two nights, I was messing around with a live version of mint and had nothing but problems. The programs I installed from the software manager didn't work and I couldn't even get wine to work. I followed the instructions on mints site and wine kept having installation errors. I'm going back to ubuntu as I didn't have these problems with that distro. Glad you're up and running though!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

As soon as I find the time will do the same thing. Congrats!
Now that you have Mint, next time you want to make a thumb drive for installing a distro all you have to do is plug in a thumb drive, right-click the .iso file, and select Make Bootable USB Stick. (or from the Menu choose Accessories ‣ USB Image Writer)
And here's a nice intro to Mint for you. That site has lots of other helpful stuff too. Enjoy!
I prefer Ventoy, because I can put however many different ISOs on it by just dragging ISO files to a folder, and I can use rest of the drive for regular file storage. But still it’s really sweet Mint has such option easily available!
right-click the .iso file, and select Make Bootable USB Stick
And most of the time it will even work!
I kid, I kid... kind of. My outcomes when making bootable sticks from ISOs over the years have been very random.
command thingy
They grow up so fast.
Next on the list: get into tabletop RPG, but not DnD.
I can recommend Pathfinder and Shadowrun.
Fate, Savage Worlds, or Traveller.
Pathfinder is just the GNOME classic of RPGs.
more like Cinnamon and GNOME Classic being DnD 3.5
Now we’re splitting hairs 😁
I'm happy for you!!! Happy to hear you're enjoying your freedom.
