So ive use windows pretty much for everything and ive kinda had a enough of windows. i was thinking of trying linux on an old laptop that i just upgraded to 8gb of ram and im not sure wha tos to put on it. i was thinking something lightweight maybe ubuntu mate? i need somethign like windows that will allow me to game and do other things liek gaming maybe even streaming or reading? idk. also what are some neede dsoftware, browser so rthigs needed for linux. i com efrom a family who has never trie dlinux and hates it because its “the smar advanced coders os” somethign liek that.
anyways im a noob so go easy on me please als i may have ben linux distro hopping but i still feel lost.
I’d say the top ones I’d recommend are Linux Mint, Zorin OS and Kubuntu. All three work a lot like Windows.
@gortbrown @QuietStorm +1 for Mint, so far it has been the only distro that was pretty much plug-n-play with me, quite often I just leave it with the default config and only really change the wallpaper
