CachyOS user here. It was the only distro+KDE that worked with my GeForce flawlessly.
Non-corporate users use Ubuntu? Last time I tried it, I have encountered bugs on day one, and I nearly instantly switched to random distro with KDE (openSUSE, which also I dislike btw).
Also I have very 'fond' memories of using it in about 2011-2013 where the program crashing message is burnt into my mind, because how often it appeared, and sometimes even the error reporting tool was crashing for some reason.
I also tired a random distro, I could not get HDR to work, so I went back to windows
nobara has working hdr, any kde plasma desktop using distro should...
Haven't done much in the desktop space, but Ubuntu seems solid for noobs. Tons of tutorials out there to get a new person on their feet. Go Ubuntu, learn, change it up later. Not like this is a life defining moment. Go with what works out the box and has idiot-proof help out there.
My go-to for servers is headless Debian. Am I wrong? Serious question.
Mint all the way.
Look, I know that there will never be consensus with this topic, but I genuinely believe Mint has the potential to become posterboy for the Linux boom.
It's not just about the path of least resistance (i.e., ease of use and learning with safety wheels), but it's also about setting the fundamentals strong and limiting them to maintainable manageable levels. Which I felt Mint walks the line pretty succinctly.
There's a song called 'No More Fucks to Give', all time banger (you should listen to it if you haven't), it made me have a small realization that you have only a limited amount of Fucks you can give in life, and I feel like same should be a good soft rule any distro to adhere to.
I went with Garuda. Itβs pretty. Steam games are hit and miss a bit still tho :/ I have Nvidia and intel stuff. I9-9900k /RTX super 2070.
I use gentoo out of elitism and I want the Linux to be taken over by corps so I can move to a real is called freebsd
Give me a reason to change. It needs to be something real not something perceived.
