Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudo
in Windows.
- No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Well i was joking previously. But Mint should be great and before installing you can play around in live usb and check if everything works well
Thanks. I just gotta get my wife to hurry up and buy her own thing.
You can try making a virtual machine with a 20 GB virtual hard drive to try out different Linux distros in the meantime.
Thanks. I will look into learning how to do this.
To make things simpler in the long run, I recommend looking into using Ventoy on a thumb drive, if you'd like to just try out various versions of Linux without installing anything. There are handy guides on YouTube.
