Since two months? Yes.
OP
One month of using Mint update:
I really have become more comfortable with nix now. I don't really miss Windows, cause the fact that I am using Linux is getting more and more abstract the more I use it. I needed to boot into Windows one time when I wanted to declutter my PC. For some reason, sorting through lots of files seems easier in Windows. Maybe because of the "Everything" app, which lets you search any files with keywords instantaneously. Or maybe I still just feel more comfortable with the "File Explorer" of Windows. Apart from that I really enjoy connecting to my VPS, using ADB to connect to my phone, etc from Quake drop down terminal.
Also need to find a good way to use Workspace. I think I can become more efficient if I use it.
Also there are still some quirks in Linux, like I want some applications to launch in minimized mode, but I need to minimize all of them everytime I boot into Mint, but that's just minor annoyance. But I think I am enjoying using PC now that I don't have to think about "insecurities" and "updates" and all.
PS: I have also started to use IRC again, so if old IRC folks wanna rejoin, are welcome to #krow.

You mean the virtual desktops? Just switch to a new desktop and open some apps there.
OP
No I meant, I don't really used Workspace in the past, or in Windows 10, but since it's a good way to organize apps, I still need to using workspace in my workflow.
Maybe I can maintain a workspace just for chat applications, and one for widgets, and last one can be all Terminal in full screen, so I just need to switch workspace to use terminal.
How do you guys use Workspace in your workflow, if you use it?
Also tagging @aaruni for this question.
OP
That was a fast reply!
Anyway, so yes I can also use the workspaces that way. Seems it would be more productive to assign different workspaces for different jobs. "Browsing", "Communication", "Multimedia" and "Office" seems a good way to use workspaces. So naturally some questions:
1. Can we rename a workspace to custom names?
2. Is Ctrl + Alt + Arrow Keys the only way to switch workspaces? 3 keys seems to be difficult to press to switch workspaces, especially if you need to constantly switch for some reason.
3. Is there any way to launch the apps in specified workspace? I don't think Mint currently remembers if I assign an app a workspace after a reboot.
OP
In Gnome there was an extension which use to make the apps remember the workspace in which it should remain. There should be something like this in Mint too.
OP
I know damn well the name of the extension (I had listed all Gnome extensions I used on first page of this thread):
It's Auto Move windows. Link: Auto Move Windows - GNOME Shell Extensions

After a short stint with Mint, back to Ubuntu 19.04. Although I should've probably installed the LTS version.
LTS packages don't update frequently for stability reasons. So you will have packages weeks behind upstream sometimes. LTS is only better if you are running a server or setting up some enterprise infrastructure where stability is more important, but no use for normal usage.

@Desmond David LTS is widely appreciated in office and home environments. A lot of software does not update for versions between LTS. Once I tried a non-LTS version of Stacer and it is not there. That is true for many apps like Genymotion, Android Studio and a lot of them.
Being on the edge is fun and all. But from my experience, they don't even bother to fix bugs in intermediate versions. It will be marked for some later release.

Well, LTS means that the official packages in the package manager will only be the ones tested to be stable with that particular version of the OS. However, this does not mean that you cannot install packages manually (deb, rpm or tarball). You can still get a version not available in the repositories by installing it manually.
LTS is mostly used in mission critical environments because frequent updates could cause unstability and bring down the system at the worst of times. That is why only security updates have priority in LTS and other packages are updated less frequently, that is only after the maintainers have thoroughly tested the new version packages to be stable.

I understand why you are saying. But most vendors won't keep a version for non LTS versions. Believe me, I have tried myself. It is good if you want to try, report bugs, enjoy the new UX and all. But if you want all your major software run ( other than browsing, music and movies ) LTS is the only option from my experience.
I have reported a couple of bugs for 16.04 and it came fixed in 18.10. What hope do you have for bugs in 19.04 ? It will not fixed before the support ends. You will be forced to hop across the versions every 6 months. And with that, a lot of things could go wrong.
