Obviously this is somewhat subjective, but I’ve had a lot of problems in my previous attempts to switch to Linux, so I’d like to create a list of distros to try out, and see what works for me. I’m mostly expecting to be doing basic office work and light gaming via Steam.
If you have an Nvidia GPU, it’s hard to beat Linux Mint, unless you have the absolute newest bleeding edge hardware.
If you have an AMD or Intel GPU, Linux Mint Debian edition is great.
