Germany… maybe openSUSE?

I think your assessment of Linux Mint with XFCE is a really good first choice. Cinnamon could be worth a try though as the UI is a bit more modern looking. I’m biased towards XFCE because it looks fine and runs extremely well on old laptops. I’ve got a laptop from 2008 running it (it’s my only computer that still has a disc drive) and it’s honestly a usable machine again.

I think XFCE Mint is a good experience. That said, depending on how W10 has been running for you, Cinnamon won’t be worse than that.

Hard agree. Games have looked really good for a decade. Super high fidelity graphics means super expensive development, which these days also means that the game design is geared towards anti-consumer monetisation and safe bets in terms of proven gameplay formulas.

It’s so much better just to hold onto the card that you have and enjoy the hundreds of good games that released in the past + Indies that actually innovate on gameplay.

Oh yeah for sure. I think if Gnome works for people they should use it. I’m not stoked on the situation of Gnome Extensions being needed for some pretty basic customisations, adding instability to the DE though.

Gnome has the apple philosophy that the user conforms to technology, not the other way around.

Or just $5 million dollars would do it: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-gold-card-eb5-visa-5-million-immigration-oligarch-cbs-news-explains/

It seems to hit that right balance of bleeding edge while SUSE are still testing the packages for a bit to ensure there aren’t bad updates. Fedora sounds interesting to me as well, but I’m not going to fix what isn’t broken.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed Gang. The only distro I haven’t been able to break after 6 months (well, I have, but I’ve been able to snapper rollback every time)
