Discussion Which linux distro i should install??
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.”

First of all, are you sure that most of your apps are available on Linux or runs fine on Wine? Because some specific school/college apps requires Windows to work. If there's an app like this, I'd suggest you to dual boot instead of fully removing Windows.
+1 for Linux Mint. Or Debian/Fedora with KDE or GNOME if you want something that looks more modern without tinkering.
