    Pop_OS or Linux Mint. Both just work. The Atomic idea is nice, but still too soon for complete beginners or the lazy (not a pejorative).

    Ubuntu LTS. Far more polished than Mint, regardless of the Snap hatred you will hear. And Snap is a bit annoying, but not one bit the evil some people will convince you it is. Will not break unless something extremely stupid is done. And since it is based on Debian Unstable, it receives latest packages plus is first preference Linux platform for corporate and general software.

    just installed bazzite and after switching to x11 (one button thing) its the first district to have no screen tearing, no stutter

    though this is a very gaming focused district, so maybe not for you

    its derived from universal blue so maybe check that out

    My advice is to just look at the screenshots of a few mainstream ones and pick one that looks the most usable.

    A few:

    • Mint - Can’t go wrong if you like traditional desktop.
    • Pop OS - Great for gaming (and many other things).
    • Zorin - Never used it, but it’s supposedly easy, and very polished.
    • Ubuntu - Has many haters (including myself), because of nuances, but honestly it’ll do the job just fine.

    What are you trying to build? A work laptop that you’re going to take on trips, a gaming computer, a server? Something else?

    For you, what is too much hassle? Are you a new Linux user or an experienced user with no spare time? What are you accustomed to doing when you install an operating system and what do you expect to be preinstalled?

    What is your favorite colour?
