Machine is a HP ENVY x360 Convertible 15-eu1xxx with the touch screen. Ryzen 7 5825U, touch screen 16gb RAM.

Top recommendation of within one hour of me posting this decides what distro I install. Please not Hannah Montana linux or even worse, Arch.

I leave the decision up to you.

Edit:

The winner was linux mint. I've downloaded the ISO and am installing now. I hope my boss doesn't get pissed.

Hannah Montana Linux

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 63 points 1 year ago

This is obviously the only correct answer.

Mint. It's dead simple and works great.

For a better touchscreen experience, try the Gnome Desktop. Some people hate it because ...because people, but I love it on my exactly-same-but-not-same latitude 7389 (Arch BTW) and thinkpad 390 yoga (Debian).

I actually like the lack of endless customisation options ; I really just change the background, install the Cube and the Wobbly Windows and I'm back to work. Which I should be at right now, sigh.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

I use touchscreen on kde plasma and it works fine. Firefox just needs some customizing

60 minutes. We have a winner.

Downloading the ISO now.

[-] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Idk if this is your first brush with Linux, I only recently had my own. Let us know if you need any help, but I promise that if you just follow the instructions, and you can, you'll get through it. ChatGPT can also be useful for bridging small knowledge gaps in tech and IT.

[-] Vilian@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago

yep, mint always, if OP don't like the mint looks i sugest them fedora atomic(silverblue or kinoite)

[-] littletranspunk@lemmus.org 8 points 1 year ago

I have bounced around a lot and found myself just wanting something stable with enough "newness" to still feel good. I started with mint and I ended on mint.

Definitely the best one directly following windows, and in my opinion best one overall.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

This came way to close to winning. I don't think it counts as a linux distro though.

[-] jeffhykin@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

Fair, I did miss that requirement

Its good to be king, maybe. But its a sad story.

[-] jeffhykin@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

It is a sad story. Keeping it in legendary meme status is the best way to remember it IMO.

Debian Bookworm – yes, it’s boring – but that also means no surprises or gotchas – it just keeps truckin’ along

EDIT: if you ever do feel Arch-curious, start with EndeavourOS instead

Suicide Linux

If you mistype a command your distro gets destroyed.

Fedora Silverblue.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Atomic

The whole system is updated in one go, and an update will not apply if anything goes wrong, meaning you will always have a working computer.

Well having a working computer would be an improvement.

How 'bout you decide for yourself? Despite what highschool and webster's dictionary suggest, what's popular has no bearing on what's right. In fact, what's popular has occasionally turned out to be Very Wrong.

[-] puppy@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Fedora with KDE.

[-] Aggravationstation@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

Debian with XFCE. Lightweight, clean and stable.

[-] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Fedora Atomic, choose whatever DE you like.

[-] tkk13909@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 year ago

If you like how Mint looks, install Mint. If you prefer KDE or GNOME, install Fedora Silver blue or Kinoite.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

I mean , I think people have suggested those already. You can upvote them if you please.

  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
    • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
