I use a variety of distros depending on my situation, but I’d easily recommend Mint to anyone wanting to dip their toes in.

Choices which don't matter nearly as much as people like to pretend they do, no less.

If you're having trouble deciding, just pick a popular (general-purpose) distro at random. Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Mint, Bazzite, even Arch -- whatever, it'll be fine, don't worry 'bout it.
