Top recommendation of within one hour of me posting this decides what distro I install. Please not Hannah Montana linux or even worse, Arch.
I leave the decision up to you.
Edit:
The winner was linux mint. I’ve downloaded the ISO and am installing now. I hope my boss doesn’t get pissed.
Interesting, good to know. I’m not quite there yet, but my next build will 100% run linux, I just haven’t decided on the distro yet. Thanks for the info!
Not sure how much experience you have with Linux but if you know the basics (and perhaps a little more depending on your definition) I personally would recommend EndeavourOS. I have fedora on my laptop but I’m not that happy with it, while EndeavourOS on my desktop is running nicely. I use i3 but am switching over to hyprland though I have to do that manually. The installer has a lot of options for wms and other packages though which is why I like it. It also has some GUIs for updating the arch mirrors and everything else you might need to do the first time you run it.
I’m not going in totally blind - I have experience with using linux on the server side. I’ve just bever used it for a personal desktop environment.
