I suggest Cinnamon Ubuntu for a combination of Mint and Ubuntu and the best of both worlds. It’s got the Mint Windows like front end, with Ubuntu in the back. Most help online is for Ubuntu anyway and it’s better with games imo.

My partner is a gamer and this is what I’m bringing him in on this summer.

Lmao my sweet summer child
This is incredibly infuriating and I’d honestly consider it ecoterrorism and abusive.
I upcycle old tech and put Linux Mint on them. The people I’ve given them to seem pleased as do the charities.

This is already too jargon filled for a new user and overwhelming. I already went through this with my partner who told me off for it lol.
