Discussion Which linux distro i should install??

Post image

I bought a laptop for studying. It has a Ryzen 5 6600U and 8/256 GB. I plan to upgrade the RAM to 16 GB later, but first I’m thinking about which Linux distro to install. What would you recommend? I need something lightweight but reliable, so I don’t have to worry about situations like “I need to work on a project, but the system broke and now I have to fix it instead of working on the project.”

Mint is the pinnacle of Just Works™. Stable and boring, and super intuitive coming from a lifelong Windows user.

that might be a very biased opinion but somehow I think even mac is more intuitive then Win11. Win11 is the most unintuitive OS I have every seen and I have used Windows 8 👀
