From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I am sorry but I really don't have any constructive advice to offer. I am more curious what distros you are considering. If you haven't thought about using Arch, please give it serious consideration because it is nice and lightweight. Yes, the install process is terse but it leaves you with a good system that you really know what's going on.
Sorry, couldn’t help…. This meme just popped in my mind!

Yep! That’s us Linux users in a nutshell!
No worries. I haven'ttried actual Arch since circa 2008 (not impressed then haha). A couple years ago I ran Manjaro, which was fine. I am definitely partial to Debian/Apt based systems though. Been using Mint for a long time, but wanting to switch to Siduction.
