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.

That's for sysadmins.

These days I don't even care what fs I use, I just let the distro choose its default, I simply make sure encryption is enabled.

It's really touching that you consider me to be a sysadmin, because I use Linux and know how my fs works. I'm actually kinda proud of myself. My arch install has been working for many years.

Are you saying that you use arch btw?

[–] HelloRoot@lemy.lol 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I use arch btw. Do you also use arch btw?

I used to use arch btw, but then I grew old and moved to Fedora. Then I saw the light and installed Bazzite on everything, even my coffe machine. It's got RGB now.
You should install Bazzite, save your soul.
