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.

    The defaults are more similar to Windows, Gnome is really good too, more aesthetically pleasing also IMO.

      Thanks! Yeah I prefer the gnome one. I think it’s heavier resource-wise but for people expecting an OS to look “like an OS” (people who prefer not to use a terminal) it’s great. I think I’ve used KDE Like 10 years ago but I am not sure if it was KDE.
