Alright, #Nostr.

Everyday I get closer to running #Linux. I have alot of personal files/folders on my PC (that was updated to Windows 11 via misclick). That being said, I know Linux has a lot of different implementations. I'm looking for one that has security, game performance, and is relatively user friendly.

So, #AskNostr, what is your favorite implementation of Linux and why? That way I've got a starting point in my self-education.

I use fedora. It has up to date packages and is normie ready right out of the box. It has a built in repository for the non free nvidia driver if you use that, an you can install steam via flatpak and game just as well as windows.

just start with Ubuntu? maybe popOS. its not just about your flavor of Linux, you also want to think about what desktop environment you want to run.

I started with both Ubuntu and Mint, and both were fairly easy to install and use. Plus, there are numerous other users for both distros. Should you have an issue crop up, it's likely someone has already both experienced the issue and discovered a solution. If not, there are plenty of users and expe...

Recommend set up a ventoy USB stick. Then drop any and all distros you are curious about on it. Take a few for a test drive before picking the one to install.

Fedora or Debian, because Qubes uses them. (Not recommending Qubes, because it's low performance for high security, and a part time job to run, for which you won't be paid money.🤕)

What gpu are you using? And how much are you willing to learn or solve issues if any? I think those questions can point you to where you want to start. But cant go run with any of the big flavors today tbh. Its also more about what desktop environment you want and not distro.

Never tried it, but devs targeting Windows users: nostr:nevent1qqs0epad7wx0rsfm6z7vq9286pzyaq3rgsputmk8vxx27l0lk2dnl2cpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43z7q3qk8u9z0xw3dfq4aa0kdvm7mwcvjk8lf63k38uvdk9dzpd5wn6y6aqxpqqqqqqz4x3qck

How goes the testing?
