From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The top 10 in Distrowatch. I don't even know which they are, but odds are that you'll find something good in it.
I started out with Mint but then tried out Ubuntu and now I'm using EndeavourOS on my laptop. So far EndeavourOS has been the best experience for me.
If you like Linux Mint, you might wanna try Feren, but it a bit bloated tho

NixOS, makes it easy to have the same setup because it's all in one config file. I didn't check it out until last year when they released a graphical installer, now installing/using NixOS is a breeze.
Even if I didn't install NixOS, I'd use the Nix package manager (which is separate, but part of a NixOS system) since it has more packages than the AUR. It's easy to contribute to, so I've been maintaining a package.
