Recommend to split your music workstation from your personal files machine to get some privacy back. Then run cleanup scripts to pare Windows down to the bone. Also Mint over Ubuntu.

Why Mint over Ubuntu? I like the Ubuntu experience out of the box. It seems to handle high-DPI and per-display UI scaling well, due to Wayland. From what I've read, Mint still uses X11.

    They are quite similar but Mint doesn't use snap.

    Mint can use X11 or Wayland. I think Cinnamon didn't have Wayland support for a while, but that was fixed a couple of years ago.

      Wayland on Mint is still experimental, and will be for years to come. I've yet to hear from somebody using it. Are you the one? ;)

        I've tried it and it worked fine. Believe Gnome has most of their user base on it by now so the libs are well exercised.
