Memes aside, Ubuntu (LTS releases) or Linux Mint are probably your best choices to start. The real difference between distributions is the choice of software. Some people prefer OpenRC, some people prefer Systemd. Some people prefer Apt, some people prefer Pacman. Over time and use, you might find yourself curious to experiment with other flavors. Maybe you'll find yourself enjoying something else more enjoyable. Or maybe you'll stick with Ubuntu. Freedom to pick, play with, and discard at your whim. Oh and none of your games will work (well), but games are for children.

>>60511906

You should try Ubuntu and test others distro.

>>60511906

Gentoo
You'll also git gud at using Linux

Ubuntu LTS is what I chose senpai
Linux life so far is comfy

Ask yourself - do you have a reason to switch?

>>60511872
>>60511975
this. ignore the rest


>>60512549
fuk off

>>60511862
Xubuntu, ignore the Mint sheep. Mint is just Ubuntu with less compatibility and updates held back. Unless you really want Cinnamon there is 0 reason to choose Mint over Ubuntu.

>>60511862
What are your specs on your laptop to begin with?

Also make sure that your laptop's hardware is compatible with Linux.

>Ubuntu will drop Unity and is going to use GNOME again
>LinuxMint is Ubuntu, but their purpose is to remove eventual source code that would betray your privacy (as Canonical did with the Amazon ads). They may have drivers compatibility issues
>Fedora is backed by RedHat and looks pretty nice, they share developers with RedHat and GNOME.

Linux Mint is a Windows killer

>>60513866
in a good way, it's literally more comfy than windows

Dont install mint, its a useless piece of shit. install kubuntu or xubuntu instead

>>60513743

>>60511862
Try Fedora.

poobuntu sucks, OP being a winfag is better off starting with mint

>>60511862

>>60514169

>>60511862
You should use a Virtual Machine or simply download and try different Distros in Live mode, then pick the one you like the most.

macOS is the best OS ever made.

Cinnamon Mint or KDE Manjaro. KDE might be a bit slow on your laptop.

Ubuntu is the windows of linux. Developed by nsa

Mint is very nice and great to start with. You could also consider ubutu mate
(I use open suse with kde)

ubuntu isn't an alternative to Windows
GNU/Linux is an alternative to UNIX not Windows

MacOSX is an alternative to Windows.
