I’m looking for a beginners guide on transitioning to Linux, something that shows me which OS I should go with for my use case. I would love it if the source of the guide is on Lemmy, but I’ll take any recommendations from here.

That depends on what your use case is. If you’re after gaming, I’d recommend Bazzite

I wouldn’t recommend immutable distros quite yet. There isn’t a lot of docs on them.

I mean, their official discourse forums have a fair bit of documentation.

But Bazzite’s goal is to make things work so that people can spend their time playing their games instead of reading documentation.

Check out distrowatch if you wanna stay up to date on the latest releases of your preferred distro(s). I put this here because it’s got a side bar that lists the 100 most popular distros queried from their site, which might make it easier to see what’s likely got more support or at least a more active community.

1. Follow the site-wide rules
2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of “peasantry” to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
