Hello there!

After some lurking on r/Unixporn and its Discord, I'm more and more tempted to try Linux as a daily driver. While I'm by no means a pro, I've been using WSL at work the past year and generally I can fiddle around finding solutions when something doesn't work.

These being said, the main requirements I would have from a distro is to be able to run League of Legends (saw that it's pretty straight forward using Lutris) and not be insanely complex from the get-go (wouldn't want to jump straight into something like Arch), I intend to use something like Hyprland.

So far I am split between OpenSuse Tumbleweed, NixOS, Fedora and EndeavourOS, but would gladly hear alternatives.

LE: Read (and tried to reply to) most messages. I will come back with an update once I decide my pick and see how it goes. Thanks everyone!

I'll give a third to Fedora, it's definitely a good option (though I'll admit I prefer KDE to Gnome, so I tend to go with the Fedora KDE spin). I'd also agree with several of the other commenters suggesting Linux Mint. It's a pretty good distro to get started on, and the Cinnamon desktop environment is reasonably familiar to those coming from a Windows background.
