- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

What's the best Linux distro for an easy switch from Windows?
Thank you everyone!! My PC is being left behind by Windows 11.
Fedora with KDE
Linux Mint. It's boring but easy and stable.
Mint or Pop
Best ? Not really a thing, Pop, Mint, Fedora ? I went LMDE 18.months ago after 6 months on Mint.I. have no.idea what I'm doing though. :)
Nvidia can provide some hiccups in some distros, I'm AMD
Gentoo
I've used Ubuntu and multiple flavors of mint. I like bazzite the best. Literally zero problems since I switched.

Unpopular opinion: There is no one "best" distro. I'd recommend you download a few, try them out, see what clicks for you. Nobody knows your use case as well as you do.
I feel like I'm probably the sole one who's happy with Kubuntu. It's just Ubuntu with KDE on it.

Linux Mint
Maybe Fedora but it has a bigger learning curve. You also could try Fedora KDE.

This is why I use Fedora
Instantly works, and I never need to dedicate hours to fixing stuff when something breaks

Ubuntu users here wanted to go Debian, but also want to live in the current world.
Kubuntu with --minimal-install (no snap fuckery) has been my unironic "S-Tier" computing experience in life.

Debian isn't that far behind. (0-2 years) If you want the latest packages don't choose Debian.
If you want something newer go for Fedora or maybe even Arch.
