Thought I’d create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people’s pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

    Mint ships an old kernel by default. But there’s a GUI that lets you install a newer one.
    This would most likely fix your issue.
    Or do you have an nVidia graphics card and didn’t install the proprietary driver?

      My other thought is screen tearing and similar. I think Mint still ships with X rather than Wayland and screen tearing is a pretty infamous limitation with Xserver
