Here's why Linux Mint is the best Windows-replacing distro
Ready to ditch Windows? It's time to migrate to Linux, but not all distros are made for developers. Give Linux Mint a go!

Moving to Linux from Windows can be a daunting prospect. Will all your favorite software work? Can you even play games on Linux? How difficult will the learning curve be? Thankfully, Linux and its distros have come a long way over recent years, and now it's a viable platform for Windows converts. I've always recommended Linux as a viable alternative to Microsoft's OS, but 2025 feels like the ideal time to make the switch, especially to Linux Mint with recent advancements in Valve's Proton for gaming.
