why you so happy about it you like it or do you got a financial stake
Agree with Linux Mint... I also recently tried Fedora and that's pretty nice too!
I miss a list of chess software available for Linux.
SCID can manage any database in PGN. Difficults with 960 games
ChessX is what I use to analyze 960 games
Of course to play online you can use Chrome of Firefox
No problem to install Stockfish
If you still miss chessbase you can use Wine, or imho, better, a virtual machine. I have an old XP or W7 in virtual machines with a megabase. It works even better as guests than as hosts
As you don't need antivirus, analysis with SF are faster as generally performance of computer.

I suggest trying https://encroissant.org/ which is Linux desktp friendly - https://encroissant.org/download
Thank you Phil4Real , it seems to be a nice software but it has no support to chess 960, or I can't find it. I will try it as Scid alternative.
Pychess is also good and has FRC support. It can be installed through repositories.
sudo apt install pychess

good point, but i didn't think people actually needed more than a chess website like lichess ^^
thanks for reading this, and glad there are linux enthusiasts here <3

or you can use it with python! :) i used to experiment with stockfish binaries with python-chess or something using jupyter notebook quite a few years ago
Linux Mint!
