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.

Hm? Linux Mint got plenty of attention imo (deservedly so).
Just look how many articles are listed on distrowatch: https://distrowatch.com/table-mobile.php?distribution=mint
Personally I am still pissed that they dropped KDE, though.
True! I’m currently on Mint but want to try out KDE. So I probably will have a look at Fedora when I have the free time to do so.
If you don't mind Snap, Kubuntu is also a great distro.
If you want to play games then check out Nobara. It's based on Fedora and made by the guy that created GE Proton
Gaming is not the main priority on a laptop but I keep it in mind, thanks!
