Hey I’m cell and my bf of nearly 2 years asked me to switch to Linux because it’s “obv way better then windows” (his words xd) and until now I always said no. I didn’t wanna learn how to navigate through a new distro all over again. I gave it some thought and decided to make it his “Christmas” present that I’m installing Linux on my laptop :3 if any of you can give me advice on what type of Linux, like arch, I should install and what I should be aware of would really help!
im lazy. I use zorin. Its pros are its easy, stable, and out of box. But its pros can be looked as cons. Well maybe not the easy part but its stable because it uses ubuntu lts which means its not using the latest linux kernel stuff. Then out of box can be looked at as great I have any program I need installed right away or it can be looked at as a bunch of bloat. Either way another thing is its not a gaming distro. If gaming is your thing then either use a gaming distro or you will likely want to dual boot one. Speaking of dual boot I recomend not dual booting windows. If you have an older laptop you upgraded from in the last few years then throw linux on the old one and be amazed at how well it runs and how your older machine seems better than your newer one.
