Does anyone here recommend some "first thing to do after installing" tips?

There are many of such article about it on internet. Since you're not being specific, i'd just recommend you to update the system immediately then install necessary driver/application.

Something that I always want to be sure is that no temporal stuff is left somewhere. I remember with Elementary OS, it used some sort of temporal backups for unsaved text files for instance, so if you wrote anything you didn't want to keep, and you didn't know this, there would be traces of what you wrote elsewhere. These things are what I really want to keep under control. I want to know that when I delete a file, this file is not saved elsewhere because reasons. This is why I do full disk encryption to begin with, but still, I want to know those things are happening.

I don't use Linux mint myself, but usually it can be solved by,
1. Disable "trash" or "recycle bin" feature from your file manager.
2. Disable or uninstall application which manage clipboard locally. For example, Xfce comes with application called qlipper.

Those are very tough requirements, i'd just recommend Linux Mint or Debian which tick most of your requirements. You can even choose desktop environment you prefer.

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 (21.2 Victoria something) ..What are your thoughts on that? Is there anything better? Like lite but powerful without any blotwares (I hate heavy distros that contains unnecessary packages, apps). I also know there are many app store to install apps on linux. Does mint supports it? I found it difficult to manage, install and uninstall apps sometimes, through the command prompt, when I used it on my friends desktop. Tongue

Also, I don't wanna install drivers manually. It should be builtin.

I'll install Linux the moment I get my hands on a laptop, as I don't have any now. I am planning to buy in a month.

Edit: I'll also need to run Microsoft visual studio code or any other compiler for programming purpose.

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

Next time please create new thread since what you're doing might be considered as hijacking/derailing thread. AFAIK by default Linux Mint install open source driver which isn't suitable for gaming. Consider Pop os (https://pop.system76.com/) which already include closed-source Nvidia driver (which suitable for gaming) where they also claim they offer customization and various development toolkits.
