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.

Mint is fine. I went with pop!_os because at the time mint didn't play well with my hardware.

Make sure you test things from the install live disk before you commit. Internet access, displays, audio should all work.
