Finally making the transition from Windows to a Linux. I'm pretty sure it's been asked several times but which Linux OS would you recommend a beginner to use? I've seen Ubuntu and Mint as a good start. Not looking to do much. Game here and there (not too worried about Linux compatibility), streaming, editing videos. If I break any rules. I'm sorry.

I shifted from Neon to Kubuntu on my work machine. Figured that Neon was a good shout because it's the official KDE distro, only to later discover that KDE now consider it to be end of life, and are working on a replacement.

Kubuntu is basically the same (from my perspective), but has continuing support.

Neon is still alive and well but there's going to be another reference implementation of KDE coming soon so I'm getting worried.
