Yeah, I want a complementary version too which would support OP's "Email and phone is sufficient". Something like Alanis Morisette's "10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife". If you're only opening a t

For Netflix and DVDs both are the same (seamless out-of-the-box). Pop!_OS has an advantage on NVidia drivers as you can select a download which includes them and enables them by default. Mint includes a driver manager which makes installati
