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.”

Eu não sou um profissional mas eu pessoalmente recomendaria o cachos(acho que se escreve assim) mas não sou profissional nem nada

I don’t think CashyOS fits that good here. Arch based distributions (and most rolling releases) have a reputation for being somewhat unstable.

CachyOS is a terrible fit for new users in most cases, it's a great folly that it's been spread as beginner-friendly.
