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.

Immutable distros aren't really that great yet due to the way they force certain things down one's throat. I'd say I'd recommend one if I were in a mental asylum for a long time, but that's just me.

Wow, that seems like a rather hostile take on the matter if I've ever seen one. But I feel like you might be conflating stuff OR hurt yourself while trying to force your way on an "immutable" distro.

After learning the ropes on how to install and manage software, there's not really much to Bazzite. Unless you somehow happen to be dealing with one of the ever-so-rare-becoming edge-cases it can't deal with.
