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.

I use KDE neon, I'd never recommend it to my friends though because quirks pop up every now and then and disappear after a couple of weeks.

I'd tell them to use Kubuntu which is just much more stable and is the same thing without quirks.

I considering moving to Hyperland on Arch which I'd recommend even less.
