hello friends! new(ish)!
Choosing a Distro
Outline of choices
Before researching and choosing the right distrobution for you, you must have in mind what you want to use it for. Facebook machine? Programming? Gaming (lel)? A secondary consideration is hardware. Linux generally tends to play well with underpowered or aging computers, but you may want to try lighter distros.
There are three things you want to compare when distro shopping. 1. Distro quirks 2. Desktop environment 3. Application library
