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.

I'm using Fedora and I'm really happy with it. Pretty solid distro,
I don't like what RedHat is actually doing, but yes Fedora is the successor.

I'm partial to Pop!_OS and their desktop environment.
Pop!_OS is excellent. I came from Mac and Ubuntu and I have had an excellent experience. It can be as out-of-the-box or as customizable as you want. The support is superb. Everything works. Zero downside.
I haven't really used Pop!_OS! yet, but I am getting a System76 laptop so I'll definitely check it out. I hope they get their Cosmic desktop out soon so they can differentiate their distro more instead of being another fork with a few customizations and default apps.
I really like the tiling but I'm getting a bit tired of GNOME.

TempleOS
Holy shit! *literally
Debian stable but be careful though, you might never leave after using it for a while :)
There are some really mixed answers here. I would stick to the mainline distros and not go for a fork with a few customizations. It does depend on what you want, especially if you are willing to learn using the terminal and if you want bleeding edge or more stability. My list would be:
- Debian
- Kubuntu
- Fedora
- Pop!_OS
- Arch Linux (If you want to learn Linux from its fundamentals)
Your PC can run any distro smoothly. What are you looking for that Mint doesn’t provide?

Pop!Os
Right now I would go with Debian. Newish release. Everything is up to date, and they are quite stable.
I moved to endeavours from Ubuntu and absolutely loving it. The arch back-end and simple management options are easy to use of you aren't afraid of the shell
Kubuntu
Pop!_OS
I recently learned about TempleOS and it seems pretty fascinating. Maybe give it a whirl.
That's the kind of thing you install in virtual box and play around for an afternoon, not something to be installed in bare metal

Tipps Fedora
I like rolling distros so Arch if you're in the mood for some tinkering and really customizing your system the way your want it or openSUSE Tumbleweed if you'd rather have it up and running quicker with a premade polish.
I'd also suggest Arch assuming one has patience for some tinkering. Getting familiar with the Arch Wiki and the other resources that exist is quite useful even with other distros! Not to mention the better understanding of the system gained simply by following the installation guide.
Even if one doesn't stick with the distro, the things learned setting it up will be useful down the line as well. The experience would also be very different from Debian based things, so it could be fun for a distro hop!
Classic distro hop thread. Every distro is suggested. :)
I've been using Kubuntu on my gaming PC for a couple years, and Fedora on my laptop. They both work.
INSTALL GENTOO
(If you want to learn by pain that is)
If you know, you know.
I’m 0 for 1.
Same. I installed Gentoo for several hours then downloaded Ubuntu
I love endeavourOS, can recommend
A good one for Arch Linux.
I started out with Mint but then tried out Ubuntu and now I'm using EndeavourOS on my laptop. So far EndeavourOS has been the best experience for me.
I'm running Debian 12 on an Intel i5-2500K (integrated graphics) with 16GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD and it runs smooth and rock solid.
Arch Linux if you well speak with terminal, Artix if not, Gentoo if want some hard:) PopOS cool.
Today's Arch is so simple to install as Artix, because of archinstall. Still, the daily use of both is full of CLI, since is the only recommend way to manage packages, besides Gui flatpaks. I would never recommend neither of they to someone that doesn't like terminal.
