The best way to install is to use a LIVE edition. This is useful beacuse you have a nice installer intergrated and you can try it before you have to install the OS on the computer.

For download of this edition, see www.debian.org/CD/live

From there, if you come from Windows, I would raccomend KDE, as it is stable and customizable. Search "KDE screenshot" to see what it looks like, and if you like it.

If you want this, here the direct URL to download: https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-12.2.0-amd64-kde.iso

Debian should also be lite enough for older machines, and it is the most stable distro I've tried. With this OS, there are already web browser, media player, office suite,... but you can also download Steam, emulators and lots of software

For help you can DM me.

From experience, this is a stable streamlined process that is now easier than installing Windows.

Been some times since I installed Windows, but Calamares is a great tool

Thanks! I've installed, Ubuntu, KDE, a real old Red Hat, and most recently Linux Mint. Usually dual boot with Windows with either separate SSDs or on the same SSD. Thankfully they have come along ways and you don't need to rebuild the GRUB every time windows did a update.

I've seen Debian is the king of Linux Distros but whenever I've looked into a install it seems like a beast. I'll check out these links!
