      Linux Mint is pretty good, it has a Windows 7 kind of feel to it. Fedora is also nice, it great for tablet, also with touch. Both work pretty well and consistently out of the box.

      Depends a lot on use case, certainly!

      Also, do you like a “bottom up” or “top down” approach? Grabbing a raspberry pi and setting up a headless (no monitor) home server is a great bottom up way of getting familiar with things — learn to configure various services and whatnot from the command line. Or, just start with a user-friendly distro with a GUI you like, and gradually work your way up to looking under the hood.

      Pop!_OS is the absolute best for beginners. Pick KDE if you want a Windows experience and Gnome if you want a Mac experience.

      Nvidia? Pop!_OS probably.

      Mint is great but its using the legacy display manager so some people witg multi monitors with different frame rates bla bla had issued with it tho.
