What Linux to use?
For booting off USB (Have Windows running internal - for now)
Ryzen 5 5500
32gb RAM
GeForce RTX 3060

Blender
Godot
GOG
Steam

Will need:
Image editing (I've been using Paint dot Net

If folk could give reasons for a choice, rather than **"Why don't you just ARCH?!?"**, that would be nice.

I am quite familiar with Windows, and prefer GUI/Mouse over CLI.

I think you would be safe with either Linux Mint or Debian 13.

Reasons:

Good out-of-the-box usability that still allows plenty of opportunity to learn, grow and expand your abilities as required.

Good support communities.

Sensible update cycles.

I just like the UX/UI.

Caveat:

No idea how they perform as a 'live' OS.

Maybe a MATE distro is a better option... never tried one though.

Suggestion:

I find YouTube is my friend in these situations. Lots of opinions on there.

@avoca Thanks.
Mint is looking likely.

"Lots of opinions" is a double-edged sword... :D
