For new comers Linux Mint is a great out-of-the-box experience.
You will find tons of info and guide on youtube, but it’s pretty much as simple as installing windows now.
I personally like Fedora and Nobara but the latest sometimes break with updates so you need to handle this.
You can try most distros in a virtual machine before installing, to get a general idea of the look and feels.
I tried Bazzite first, and it was easy but I decided I didn’t want an immutable system so I switched to Garuda. Both are very gaming focused and easy to get running.
Which version? And for those of us yet to switch, are there any handy guides that you’d recommend?
