  • When I started my Linux journey a couple of years ago, I tried lots of distros and experienced some of the same frustrations. The distro that hooked me and just worked was Pop! OS. It was very user friendly, didn’t require any fiddling, it just worked. Later I wanted a more up-to-date system, and after trying several distros I settled with Fedora.

    Other thoughts: …be sure to install Timeshift (system rollback app). …my experience is that gnome desktop is easier, cleaner, less tweaking and less overwhelming than kde.

    Perhaps sometime in the future, more people will try Linux and see how good it is. My recommendation based on my own experience:

    Want stable, just working. Robust workhorse: Try Debian

    Want newest, nicest, good for gaming (need a tiny bit of tinkering if you run Nvidia): Try Fedora

    Want easy to install, but a bit older and slower, but requires no tinkering: Try PopOS

    Don’t like settings, tweaks and fuzz: choose Gnome desktop 😊
