Which distro are we all installing? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 12 points 1 year ago If serious, whichever one works best for you. Lots of info out there to help steer you to a good match. There are some that will have a harder time than others thanks to Microsoft domination all these years. If not serious. Arch, of course. permalink fedilink source parent [–] BombOmOm@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (1 child) For a desktop OS, I have been recommending Linux Mint to new Linux users. The UI feels familiar to a Windows veteran, and the initial setup is designed to be user friendly. However, don't fret too much over it. Distros are mostly just a pre-configuration of the OS, all of them can do everything. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment load more comments (1 reply)
