From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Original replier here 😁
They are all very similar.
I recommend Fedora Atomic because, especially uBlue, "just works". If something should ever break, you can easily roll back. And the small tweaks provided by uBlue provide you a very sane system out of the box.
It's way easier to learn imo than traditional systems. Yes, you might have to learn how to use distrobox, but that's one single tool. Learning how to troubleshoot a whole OS is way harder, and you don't have to worry about managing your OS.
What I wouldn't recommend is Nobara. It's a one-man-project and very very insecure. Either go with the official Fedora, or go with uBlue.
so idk why but apparently silverblue and bazzite are very difficult to dual boot. I feel like I've tried everything the internet has to offer. so, do you have any other distros you recommend? unless the last thing I'm about to try just nukes windows, then I'll go for a full bazzite install lol. wouldn't be all that upset lol

I just wanted to write "use a second SSD", but then I saw you're using a laptop. Shit.
How often/ for what do you need to use Windows? You can always run it in a VM if needed.
Either that, or use another distro.
I don't know the context here anymore, sorry! 😅
