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.

You're wrong. Proof by counter example: SteamOS

EDIT: you can downvote me but you're still wrong

Uh yeah that's a bad example as most users will just use SteamOSes Big Picture?

"Your example proved me wrong so it is a bad example!" LOL

steamos users on the deck will rarely if ever interact with what arch linux makes arch linux, so yeah it is a bad example.
