Manjaro is amazing, but might have a little steep learning curve should you use it for something very advanced. Also, no .deb’s and .rpm’s for you, but AUR is arguably even more based (don’t rely on it too much though, troubleshooting issues with AUR-sourced apps is an advanced task indeed!)
Other than that, an insanely snappy (thanks, Arch!), beautiful (thank you, presets for various DEs!), almost bleeding-edge and very novice-friendly distribution.
Lin…ux?
Yep, I just switched yesterday.
Literally switched two days ago. Trying mint for now
Haha, me too. I tried opensuse first but switched to mint.

PopOS uses the same core stuff as mint and is good at graphics drivers, does em automatically.
If you want to keep your computer, yeah.
Might be rough, but, like… Windows7 isnt supported anymore.
Okay so KDE was okay 5-10 years ago. Ultimately crawled back to Windoze. What’s in vogue in 2024?
There is plenty of choices, those are just some of the major ones.
