I’d say start out with Linux Mint (debian edition) if you need something simple. Bazziteos if you’re a gamer. Jump around as you see fit. Maybe put it on a vm to test it out or make a ventoy usb to put a bunch of isos on and test them all out.

when you say test them out what am I looking for? I really truthfully play very simple low demand games and older games a little, I mostly use my computer for browsing/writing/work.

easy to install, free of bullshit and compatible with Firefox lol also light demand my laptop is a little guy

When I say gaming I mean steam, proton, Wine, epic games stuff is pretty much pre installed, if you don’t need all that then linux mint should do fine

I’m a neanderthal. I barely know how computers work. I switched to Linux mint cinnamon a couple months ago. I’m a light user, mostly using word processing, internet, Foundry VTT to run games, and some light gaming via steam. I watched some YouTube videos and read some articles and just kinda sent it. It is offensively easy. I see no reason to go back to windows.

There are some things that take getting used to, but the user interface is really similar to windows and I would argue is largely more functional.

This video and this article helped a lot.

Remember, I am dumb and I did it. You can do it.
