The laptop I run it on was running Ubuntu 22.04. I tried to update it to 24.04 and so much stuff was broken that it was either do a clean reinstall of 22.04, or try something else. I figured if I was going to try something else, I wanted to try something that might make a big difference in my life, not just an incremental one.
After 4 months of use, I'd say the jury is still out on this. The part that is most irritating is that command line tools in flatpaks are unpleasant to use, and having to enter a container to use such cli tools also isn't always the nicest either (not that entering a container is hard, but if you have to then install tools in that container, you either have to keep the container around, or wait for the tools to re-install everytime you want that tool again).
But Linux distro is very mainstream: Linux Mint MATE
