Title basically.

One of my windows computers, which happens to be the one I happen to do the most CAD work on, can't upgrade to windows 11 due to having an Ivy Bridge era Xenon (it's an E5-1680 v2 for the curious, older used workstations are fantastic bang for the buck computers).

Switching to Linux on this computer has been in the cards for a while, but I hadn't been in a hurry to do it. Looks like my hand might be getting forced...

Just to add to this:

Linux Mint is popular, because they are what Ubuntu could have been. They give you Ubuntu without all of Canonical's anti-user decisions. They also have a version based on Debian if you really want to avoid Ubuntu completely.

Bazzite is also a very popular recommendation for gaming.
