I know it’s not a very Linuxy distro, but Linux Mint (Cinnamon) is so easy to use, especially for Windows users. I’ve completely replaced Windows (and with better software), aside from using Windows for a few games that require it. I used Ubuntu, Suse, and Fedora long ago, but for me, Mint takes the proverbial cake.
Thank you. I appreciate your perspective. Using Linux again has been like a breath of fresh air, honestly. I just love how fast everything is. (Both my Windows and Mint boots live on their own M.2 drives, but Mint is so, so much faster.) And, unlike Windows, I don’t feel like I have to jerry rig it to get things to work. I’m sure there are instances where that is the case, but I haven’t run into them yet.
I’m a linux user in the past 20years, and used to work with high maintenance / cutting edge distros like arch but grew tired and now use exclusively mint.
Very stable, quiet, beautiful ux (tho cinnamon can look more modern).

Being a beginner distro doesnt make mint any less linuxy. Its probably the gest recommendation to convert people over from windows

I feel like fedora would be good for Mac converts.
My favorite is fedora. Ubuntu second. It’s alright but it’s bloated. I have a thing for gnome.
Kde plasma and other kde stuff seems promising too.
Eventually id like to use arch.
