I still use Mint. Even though I’m having problems lately with mounting external drives. I mained Elementary OS for a while but something about it seemed…shallow.
External SSD in an enclosure.
So, it says it has a bad sector or bad generic error. I’ll put it on my wife’s windows laptop and do a chkdmsk /f/v/r and it cleans nothing up. And then it’ll work one time in my Linux mint. When I use it on my windows 10 living room machine then back to the mint computer - same error.
As long as I don’t put it into a windows computer Linux mint is happy
Correct, horse battery staple! (Puns) I have had issues with it occasionally when I tried but it is a start.
I usually suggest linux mint with cinnamon desktop for casual users or Fedora with KDE Plasma for power users .

External over USB or network?
