After having read this thread...and wondering what to do with my various devices when w10 support runs out....
I rebuilt my dell xps13 with linux mint...
Apart from a few Dell-specific changes i needed to make in the BIOS, it was a painless install - and most of the apps i use have linux installs as well
Gimp and Graxpert work like a bewdy. Graxpert is pretty resource intensive, so its a bit slow - can't tell if its faster than under w10.
My observation is that the Mint UI is very 'windows like' so its not as steep a learning curve as it is for some other linux distros
There is a fairly decent IPTV viewer that works well straight out of the box if you are into that sort of thing.
Siril is available from the software manager as well,
but i cant be bothered with it - i find it too long-winded from a usability perspective, and the ole lappie does not have the horsepower anyway.
I would really like a stacker as good as DSS and as easy to use....
Does anybody have any suggestions? (yeah i know i can use DSS under WINE but that to me is cheating :-) )
