@shansterable @PurpleJillybeans oh, and for the love of all that's holy stay away from the reddit linux community, they're "those" people who parrot the "nvidia evil, sell your card and buy ATI, delete xorg" etc, meanwhile themselves playing games dualbooting windows (or telling people to just buy a ps5 if they want to play games...) and only using linux as a toy. The advice you get there would be HORRIBLE for actually having a usable system and running all your software.

I deleted my Reddit profile after they began ousting moderators and monetizing community contributions. Won't touch it.

@shansterable I fully support what @raptor85 said. Use Fedora.

It's the distribution Linus uses personally and it is one that has a good balance of being very beginner friendly yet very powerful and stable.

One "odd" thing about Linux is: a lot of information can be found by following wikis and written tutorials.
Especially the arch wiki is really great. Just don't use arch as a beginner. But fedora is architecturally close enough to arch for the wiki to still be helpful.

@shansterable I'm not sure about that, but you may get to choose between KDE and gnome when setting up your fedora.

These are desktop environments. While your distribution mainly determines what software comes installed and how to install software, desktops determine the flavour of your user interface.

Generally speaking: gnome has a smoother user experience and feels a lot like apple.
KDE/plasma is rougher, but more windows-like. I personally use plasma.
