Kinda the same since 2006 (using Windows for gaming), however I never used Mint & for the last five (?) years installed Tumbleweed to various family & friends machines (it's my daily driver too).

I only add this to the discussion bcs it's a rolling release that is perhaps hard to break for a normal person & low maintenance (no real upgrades, zypper, btrfs).

I like to mention Tumbleweed bcs of how much time it saved me fixing other ppls puters (all of them very non-demanding tho).
