I plan to now. A friend helped me put it together and that's where I learnt how to make a bootable drive to install an OS.
I used to use that PC for work on the sneaky so I could do other stuff at home easily, but I've changed job and that's not a concern anymore so it might get PopOs or something on it soon
I like GNOME on the laptop but it feels better suited for laptops and touchscreens. I know plasma is really good now and really customisable, and I'd even consider Mint as I've put it on another laptop before but a more gaming centric distro should have some added dependencies included
