    I’m subbed, but I don’t have a PC running Linux at the moment and am a complete amateur. So… Lurking for me it is.

        Ok! I actually have a quick one.

        I played around with Ubuntu 7 like 14-15 years ago because it was supposed to be the most noob friendly. Is that still the case?

        (I only dual-booted on an old laptop for fun, but I never really touched it again.)

          I really like Fedora Workstation because the package versions are newer than Ubuntu based distros. The installer is a little complicated to use though. Watch a YouTube video about it first.

          If not, then Linux Mint or Pop OS are the most beginner friendly and stable.
