  • If you want to switch to Linux, you will have to learn how to use the command line. That’s basically mandatory. But you can still use a Linux desktop with minimal terminal usage.

    My best recommendations for newbies is:

    1- Linux Mint

    2- Ubuntu (Or preferably Kubuntu in my opinion as it’s more Windows-like)

    3- Debian Stable which is the distribution upon which the two previous ones are built upon, but it’s a bit rough around the edges and lack some quality of life tools to make it a bit easier to use, like a tool to detect your hardware and download and install relevant drivers and also installing proprietary codecs for multimedia. Whereas Ubuntu variants and Mint have this out of the box. But, the reward in the long term is a solid, no-bullshit, no-bloat, stable Linux OS with minimal problems. It’s worth the extra work in my opinion.
