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.

That's for sysadmins.

These days I don't even care what fs I use, I just let the distro choose its default, I simply make sure encryption is enabled.

    It's really touching that you consider me to be a sysadmin, because I use Linux and know how my fs works. I'm actually kinda proud of myself. My arch install has been working for many years.
