Gonna work on making the shift from Windows to Linux. Looking at Fedora.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I prefer GUI, though can do terminal stuff with the help of Claude. If there's some one-time stuff to setup via CLI that's fine, but for the majority of the time I'd like to not have to use a terminal. #asknostr

While you swap kernels, the Fed swaps value. Inflation isn't a bug; it's the OS design. Your GUI might be clean, but the currency backend is corrupted. Check the chain.

+1 to Mint as a starter

Fedora Workstation is excellent, have used it for years and have now switched to Silverblue. (really don't know why many claim it is somehow difficult) Whatever you choose, don't get hung up on finding a desktop environment that looks just like Windows, am sure you are intelligent enough to handle ...

Fedora Workstation with GNOME is a solid pick — it's polished, hardware-friendly, and daily use rarely needs a terminal. One tip: enable Flathub early so nearly all your apps install and update through the GUI software center. What's your main use case — general computing, development, or gaming...

I'd personally start with Mint or Ubuntu as my first experience with Linux. Fedora is great, but it's a rough transition directly from Windows.

Go with Fedora, once you feel more comfortable with Linux, especially with with the command line, you can craft your own OS. I use Arch btw.

Hey used fedora for years was good. Do you have newer hardware fedora is great for that. Ubuntu LTS is great too. Claude will work great with any Linux tell it what you want and I’ll set you up. The new GLM are cheaper and they can set you up on Linux just as good. And maple hosts them in an encla...

I'd try a few desktop environments to see what you like, and then pick a distro that uses it well. Some are more customizable, others more rigid.

https://omarchy.org worth a try.

If you've never used Linux before, I would start with Zorin. It's basically Ubuntu made for Windows users. No terminal necessary because everything just works, including Windows apps.

I can try to explain 15 years of distro hopping in 1 line: want the latest of the main software? Go fedora. A little more risk but the latest of everything? Arch. Want a stable OS with all the software, but don't care older versions of everything? Debian. Then the desktop environment, minimal is Gno...

I would say think about omarchy. The learning curve is steep but only at the beginning. Afterwards it really is better.

mint is super simple to switch to. did it years ago and never once regretted it

Ubuntu MATE is the goat. Debian and xubuntu are decent runners up.

Fedora was my first choice back in the day and what I fall back to all the time. It's like coming home. If you are new to the Linux ecosystem and want to tinker, I would stick with the base system and not the immutable versions. GNOME is considered the default but the KDE spin is very popular. GNO...

NixOS with KDE. Because it’s config based, it’s way easier to configure and manage. With AI, you don’t need to know how it works at all.

Im curious about Omarchy but have heard mixed reviews

As a first timer I would always opt for Ubuntu. Biggest community, biggest app support via various package repositories and easy to understand. Gui is clean simple and complete. PopOS if you are a developer and or if you have an Nvidia card. Still based on Ubuntu but suits this cases much better. ...

Just create an Ubuntu 26.04 start up disk, boot into it and, if everything is working, install it. If you don’t like Ubuntu then go Fedora.

https://distrosea.com/ lets you try things out with little effort. I started with Redhat 5 back in the day but like the Debian based stuff now. Linux Mint is a great one for simple daily driver.

Fedora ia very well put together and well maintained. Super active. Latest software. Update regularly. Consider kde if you like the way windows feels, I like gnome.

I ran Silverblue happily for years before switching to Secureblue. https://secureblue.dev/

Linux Mint is easily the best "first pick for newbies". Dwvuan ain't bad either. Don't look at Fedora or Ubuntu. Open Mandriva is a good pick. Omarchy sounds like a slick os, but I haven't tried it yet. Most importantly: Linux uses live usb installs for a reason. Take advantage of 'em. You can dem...
