When Windows 10 dies, I am going to jump ship over to Linux. Which version would you recommend for someone with zero prior experience with Linux? **Edit: Linux Mint it shall be.**

I plan to do the same. Since all I do on my PC is play Steam games, I was thinking of going to SteamOS. No idea if that’s even a good idea though.

Its not advised to install steam os on non steamdeck devices. Pop os, nobara and Garuda I believe come configured for gaming out of the box and are pretty uptodate.

Who**

Ubuntu, mint, pop os, and Manjaro are all good options IMO for new new people

Fedora Silverblue if your wanting security and a “it just works” experience.

Linux Mint Debian Edition if you want stability and a traditional/familiar environment.

Vanilla OS Orchid should be a nice in-between once it releases.

If history repeats itself Windows 10 is not going to die until the next good Windows floods the market

you’ve got a lot of answers, but as someone who started playing around with Linux recently I would say it’s probably better to start familiarizing yourself with some command line operations in windows now.

Do some things like, use the terminal to search for and open programs you need, delete files, even write some basic text documents.

yes, you’ll have to do some googling to work out how to do these things (and why it didn’t work) - and now you’re on the path to linux!

Maybe you’ll even find a way to install a command line browser to look up the answers.
