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

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.

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

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!
