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.

You will probably come across having to fiddle with rights, which isn't really a thing on Windows

    I use Arch BTW. Haven't had to fiddle with rights in the last 10 years.

    I've had to do it a bit on Mint. I have a couple of programs that only come as AppImages and need to be redownloaded everytime there is an uppdate, which means I have to set the rights again. It's also been a thing when setting up qbittorrent and jellyfin.
