Finally making the transition from Windows to a Linux. I’m pretty sure it’s been asked several times but which Linux OS would you recommend a beginner to use? I’ve seen Ubuntu and Mint as a good start. Not looking to do much. Game here and there (not too worried about Linux compatibility), streaming, editing videos. If I break any rules. I’m sorry.


Lots of people are going towards ZorinOS, since Windows died with the canning of W10. However, I’d say go for Mint, as that doesn’t implement the Snap packaging format (if you need GUI apps, go for Flatpak if you want them sandboxed).
