I have heard good things about nobara. I don’t mind doing a little thinkering to have things work but I also don’t want to spend hours doing recharch on how to fix things.

Edit: thanks for giving input everyone. I will try Linux mint and if it does not go well will give nobara a go instead.

Edit part two I had to boot mint in compatibility mode because I got black screen for like 15+ minutes and then I couldn’t get it to see more than one monitor and 3 hours later gave up…Just put on nobara will load mint to my laptop and try to learn more because I want to but also tryna game :) you will hear more from me

    I would take that one step further and recommend an atomic release: like fedora silverblue or kinoite for someone new to Linux. The read only base filesystem makes the risk of breaking things basically zero.

    It does make some tutorials invalid though, which can be a source of frustration.

      I generally don’t like atomic/immutable distros outside of an enterprise environment. Odds are you will never run into anything that will bother you… until you do.

      Conceptually? I think they are The Future. But I still tend to encourage people to use a more “normal” distro to start with and then migrate if they find problems.
