Hey all, I’ve been thinking about making the jump from Windows to Linux as my daily-driver and I’ve been struggling on what distro to use.

On my laptop I’ve been using Fedora’s KDE Spin for a bit but I can’t say I really like KDE all that much. I took that Distrochooser test and 9/10 of the suggestions were all Ubuntu-based or Arch-based for some reason lol.

I would prefer a distro that “just works” but I’m not scared of having to troubleshoot or fix things. I guess I’m just looking to see what everyone else uses and what you all recommend. Thanks!

    Options:

    • Linux Mint (Awesome first distro, but more out of date)
    • Pop!_OS (Great for gaming, based on Ubuntu)
    • Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite (Maybe later if your interested in immutability)
    • EndeavorOS (Maybe later once you understand the value of the AUR, more bleeding edge)

    Don’t use:

    • Ubuntu (bloat, snaps)
    • Manjaro (Don’t get me started…)
