I have an old laptop that I use as a Minecraft server as well as running RPG campaigns during game night. I’m getting tired of Windows 10 and I’m looking for a good replacement. I don’t have a lot of experience with Linux lately, the last time I did anything with it was maybe 10 years or so ago and I used Ubuntu, which I’ve read here is maybe not a good choice any longer. Stats of laptop are below. Recommendations are appreciated, thanks.

Yeah, gnome is built for touchscreen and mouse. People prefer different things and I love gnome for it’s minimalistic style and modular customisability via extensions. KDE is also great, but I tipped my favour towards gnome for something different.
Gnome has touchscreen in mind, but you can totally use its hotkey system and navigate much quicker than point and click functions in Windows. Its a simple DE that gets out of your way to focus on your task, whenever I go back to Windows for work I’m frustrated by all the nonsense
