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.

    I shifted from Neon to Kubuntu on my work machine. Figured that Neon was a good shout because it's the official KDE distro, only to later discover that KDE now consider it to be end of life, and are working on a replacement.

    Kubuntu is basically the same (from my perspective), but has continuing support.
