Arch Linux
Yeah I said it. I never used Mint or Ubuntu, I jumped straight into Arch and then Gentoo and it’s completely possible
If you stick to beginner friendly distros, you’ll never really learn Linux because they don’t challenge you. Just keep Windows on another drive as a reliable backup OS until you figure things out in Linux




The best advice I can give you is to switch to a harder distro like Arch Linux and keep trying until you get it right
Don’t ditch Windows yet, keep it as a backup OS while you learn how to use Linux
