I’ve gone from German layout to UK layout to US, I definitely understand the pain of remembering where which symbol is. Apart from that I have to say, with a bit of practice your brain will adapt pretty quickly, there isn’t that much difference between the “standard” layouts anyway

I just don’t like KDE and am not a big fan of stock Gnome either but the PopOS version with COSMIC features plus the Dash to Panel extension make it pretty useable

Cool, thank you!

For remote desktop you could try TeamViewer

Edit: Also, Thunderbird isn’t amazing imho. I would also look at Betterbird. Much better :o)

Mint is a safe bet, I would also suggest you have a look at Pop! OS and CachyOS once you feel a bit more comfortable with Linux and are curious at all. They have a bit more cool stuff to offer that you don’t really get from windows imho

Ugh I can’t wait for PopOs to move to Cosmic
