Finally making the transition from Windows to a Linux. I’m pretty sure it’s been asked several times but which Linux OS would you recommend a beginner to use? I’ve seen Ubuntu and Mint as a good start. Not looking to do much. Game here and there (not too worried about Linux compatibility), streaming, editing videos. If I break any rules. I’m sorry.

    Also, avoid Cachy or other Arch based distros for now. They are great, but a far more hands-on. Something for the future, when you are more comfortable with linux in general.

    Yeah, I recently switched from Mint to EndeavourOS which is Arch, and it breaks way more often. But I must admit, it’s more stable than Debian was 15 years ago, so I assume that Linux is getting friendlier in general
