Enjoy I use mint 21.1 Victoria 21.1 xfce on my gaming laptop myself
Little tip make a second drive with a backup so that if it ever gets a bit to complicated you'll have something to come back to also you could duel boot as well if you need windows for work or smth although tbh I hardly have any issues with mint it normally works outside the box . Mints an all-round decent distro in my expirence
I also recommend you install neofetch onto your system when you do install Linux you can customise neofetch to look however you want you can also rice neofetch as well
