I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Debian with KDE. KDE is the DE that most closely resembles Windows' DE.

If you don't want to waste resources on the DE then go with XFCE.

Is it bait?

You should go with Ubuntu imo: it's a ready-to-use, full-featured plug-and-play Linux distro aimed at beginners.

I regretted starting with fedora when I did like 6 months ago but I eventually got the hang of it. Any distro should do just do your research beforehand. And remember to test it on your architecture with a live USB I was lucky that I didn't have too much trouble myself.

this. Start with Ubuntu for a year, then move to mint and later go to debian distros

My path was Ubuntu → Manjaro → Archlinux. Archlinux is great if you wish to start development. I haven't tried FreeBSD, that may be great too.

Just use Zorin

I'd buy that game.

>>57904028
How is Archlinux good for development? Isn't it too volatile?

If you don't care about muh gaymes or photoshop shit, you'll switch easily.

Solus is a fucking meme. Install kububtu or bunsenlab
