Try a few different distros. People often recommend Mint for a beginner. I use Fedora personally, I also like Debian, it’s stable but a bit boring and can be outdated. You can also creat a bootable live USB and try before you install!

Tbh, I consider “a bit boring” a pretty good feature for an OS. “Exciting” usually means dozens of hours to fix simple things.

LTS releases get more and more attractive with age.

  • 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.
