After 5 years, I’m finally leaving Ubuntu for this Linux distro (www.makeuseof.com)

I’ve been seeing a lot of people trying to find the perfect Linux distro to replace Windows 10 with, now that its support is ending, and Ubuntu is usually the first name that comes up. It makes sense since it is stable, beginner-friendly, and has a huge community that makes getting started with Linux easier.

But as someone whose first Linux distro was Ubuntu, and who has used it for over half a decade across different PCs, I’ve realized it might not be the smartest choice anymore. Instead, Fedora Silverblue turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. Even if you are new to Linux, it might actually be the better option.

same, there is only one reason to get Ubuntu over Debian, if you have a Nvidia gpu, they make it easy to just work.

But, if you don't need cuda, I recommend an AMD gpu and stick with Debian or Fedora. It is trouble free.

PS: I will try immutable distros some day, pinky promise ^^

Even then, if you're switching, just give installing drivers for Nvidia on Debian a go. If it doesn't work, just move onto the next distro
