As you mentioned Linux Mint, I needed some suggestion of yours.

So the thing is, I am looking for a distro for a perfect daily use. My requirements isn't that much. Only able to do everything that a daily user does on his windows should be enough. As example, browsing, little editing, writing on Microsoft words(I know it have a alternative version), gaming a little (like, age of empire), using VPN and a VM to run windows just in case if needed. Some customization should be nice, like applying new theme, skin etc. Lastly what everyone needs is performance and have to be user friendly. It also should get updates, not any discontinued distros.

I was thinking of Linux Mint Xfce..What are your thoughts on that? Is there anything better? Like lite but powerful without any blotwares. I also know there are many app store to install apps on linux. Does mint supports it? I sometime found it difficult to manage install and uninstall apps through the command prompt when I used my friends desktop.

Also, I don't wanna install drivers manually.

I know my writing is a mess, but if you were kind enough to guide me, I would be grateful.
