I wouldn't say I'm that techy

I really like the C-compiler and general programming experience

Yeah, okay, I am a little bit techy, but so far I haven't had to employ any of my limited techy abilities in Linux Mint. I didn't even notice I was using it more, it just happened over a few months that I was finding there was no need to go back to Windows. To load programs on Linux Mint I just google "How to load program X on Linux", and there will be a page saying, type "sudo apt install <program_name>" in Terminal and it always works and I'm done. (I'm a beginner programmer who was told to try Linux for the Unix stuff) .

If you're a gamer, I would look up any discussion of gaming in Linux - that would be my only proviso.
