Finally making the transition from Windows to a Linux. I’m pretty sure it’s been asked several times but which Linux OS would you recommend a beginner to use? I’ve seen Ubuntu and Mint as a good start. Not looking to do much. Game here and there (not too worried about Linux compatibility), streaming, editing videos. If I break any rules. I’m sorry.
Mint 100% to start with, install Nvidia drivers if you have an Nvidia graphics card. Install and run a game though Steam or whatever and if all the hardware works and you can get the refresh rate you want you’re good to go.
If not, install Fedora KDE and do the same.
If you still have issues on Fedora make another post here with some hardware details and say what you tried.
Just a question: why fedora KDE? I’ve used fedora for a few years but always with gnome. Really liked it. What would be the advantage with KDE? Or what actually is the difference ?
The defaults are more similar to Windows, Gnome is really good too, more aesthetically pleasing also IMO.
the difference is really just having kde desktop, which some prefer over gnome
