Hey guys, I want to switch to Linux, but I don’t know what Distro to use, and I wanted to know what you guys think.

I’m pretty much a noob when it comes to PCs- I built my first last summer, mostly for uni work but also for gaming (I spilled water on my Xbone lol). Until then I was using an old Acer laptop, which is getting long in the tooth, but otherwise works fine (and which I recently installed Firefox on at your recommendation, and it works great). I have no coding knowledge whatsoever, but I’m willing to learn as much as I need to get by!

I’m not worried about gaming compatability. I’ve checked on proton and all the games I want to play atm are compatible, so I’m golden. I’ll probably make the switch on my laptop first, before moving over on my desktop.

So, beginner-friendly Distro suggestions? I’ve head good things about Mint and Ubuntu, but I’m open to suggestions.

Also, having some sort of pinned Hexbear Guide to Switching OS, even if it only included links to other websites, would be a good idea IMO
