I use Garuda and love it, but I also don’t think it’s the best for a first Linux distro, unless you’re good with needing to consistently use the command line for things, and you are interested in learning more about Linux and want a distro that requires you to occasionally get your hands dirty.

From what I’ve seen, Linux Mint is a great first distro. If you want something that’s more purposed to gaming, then Nobara is great. It’s made by GloriousEggroll, who makes Proton-GE. It’s not going to be as new-user friendly as Mint, but more so than Garuda.

Thanks for the tips.

I'm a dev by day, and no stranger to bash/zsh and powershell. That said I don't want to constantly be tinkering in the terminal just to use my OS.

Cheers for the pointer to Nobara, I'll look into that as an option too!
