Ran Linux Mint for a week, which is always my choice no. 1. However, it was painfully slow, some apps took 20 seconds to start. Video streaming was lagging and I could literally see the cursor trying to catch up with my typing. Not sure what was wrong, couldn't continue. And that with a Thinkpad X1, 4 cores and 16 GB of RAM.
Now jumped to PopOS and boy, does it make a difference. Did anyone have a similar experience?
