with the recent windows news, I wanna switch to Linux. I tried mint a few years ago and was annoyed and frustrated with multiple things, like having to input the password all the time and the general ammunt of constant trouble shooting and needing a tutorial for the most basic things.
I want a distro that:
- Is very user friendly, ideally not requiring a terminal
- Is hard to accidentally fuck up
- ideally doesn’t require a password for every input
I basically just use my laptop to browse the web, draw in krita and use ms office apps (have been getting used to open office lately)
What do y’all suggest?


Shhh don’t tell them about 3rd party repos. That’s why I somewhat disclaimed it with the Learning Curve, but having yast and snapper for me onboard as a new Linux user was very helpful.
Yeah but you kind of need codecs from packman or you’re going to have a bad time if you want like streaming or video calls. Unless more things are included out of the box now?
The inclusion of open H264 was helpful.
