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.
For gaming, Bazzite. It has been enough of an improvement that it has changed my opinion on immutable OS’. In my office, I use Ubuntu on Desktop/ Debian on server. But, I’m not sure those are the right answers in 2026. Ubuntu hasn’t exactly made the best decisions over the last 10 years or so, I keep using them mostly out of momentum.
