What window manager do you use? Also do you know about the xorg vs Wayland debate?
I'm not sure, I'm on Linux mint cinnamon currently if that helps. And nothing about the debate. (sorry for my lack of knowledge and not being precise)
If you're interested in learning, I'd recommend installing Arch and going with a more minimal WM such as i3 (my personal favorite). This'll require a fair bit of time and research filling in functionality that your current setup handles for you, but you'll learn a ton and end up with a fully customized system you know the ins and outs of. Such is the beauty of GNU/Linux :]
Heh, after your last comment I went and searched info about Arch. I feel like it's kinda above my pay grade as for now. I was always into 'minimal' approach, that sounds great. I have dual boot mint/windows and I'm afraid I'll break something if I'll try to go with Arch.
Certainly fair - Mint is a great distro. Enjoy the journey
