I'm planning to switch to Linux and I've heard good things about Mint as a beginner-friendly option. However, I'm curious if there are any limitations or restrictions I should be aware of before diving in. Is it suitable for someone who's not particularly advanced with operating systems?

Mint is a solid choice! You'll find it pretty stable and user-friendly. Just keep in mind, you won't be able to run certain software like Photoshop or some games with anti-cheat features. But that's more about software support than Mint being 'less advanced.'
I think you're overthinking it a bit. Mint is stable for regular use. If you need some specific functionality that Mint lacks, remember it’s free to try out other distros. Just connect via Ethernet during installation to avoid any wireless issues!
I've been using Mint for years and it's been my daily driver without any issues. It's not limited in the usual sense, just a more controlled experience. You can always switch to another distribution if you feel like you need more features later on!
Same here! I've tried a lot of distros and if Mint meets your needs, then go for it.
Mint is great, but it might not have the latest software available because everything is tested before release. If you miss features like animated wallpapers, there are other distros out there that offer those perks!
Which distros are good for animated wallpapers though?
Totally agree! Mint isn't limited in functionality; it just prioritizes stability over the latest bleeding-edge features.
