Hi everyone, looking to make the switch from windows. I’m reasonably technically apt but not a programmer by any means. I’ve been doing some homework on which distro I would like to use and pop_os kinda feels like the right direction. I’m running an Nvidia 3060TI on a Ryzen 5600 chip set on an Asus tuf motherboard. Any other distros I should be looking at, and does somebody have a link for a comprehensive guide to installing? I’m looking to continue running windows on the side until such a time as I am comfortable enough with linux that I don’t need it.

    PopOS is a solid choice. Other good choices are Mint or Zorin. But don’t sweat it too much. Just pick something and go with it. Once you get into it more, you’ll either know exactly what you want or you’ll stop caring.

      Once you get comfortable arch is a good choice too.

      It’s not that complex and it’s a good way to learn.

      Then of course is Gentoo which is a bit more complex.
