Well, looks like it may be time to try and see what Linux is all about. Any good recommendations for a relatively Out of the Box experience?

I mostly just browse the web and play games (both single player and multiplayer, mostly AAA but also the occasional indie). On occasion, I also like to do some video editing in Davinci Resolve.

    Go with Pop!_OS

    Very user-friendly and has a straightforward installation process, also comes with strong NVIDIA graphics driver support out-of-the-box if you are using nvidia gpu. Another advantage is the Pop!_Shop, which is akin to an app store and makes software installation easy for newcomers. The GNOME-based user interface is also intuitive and somewhat similar to Windows, easing the transition.

    I've been using Nobara after messing with Manjaro, and it's been my go-to distro across multiple computers now.

    Handles games incredibly well, built in fixes for Resolve, rock solid otherwise. It's based on Fedora so very well supported on that front as well.

    Everyone will give you a different answer and honestly it's all Linux, just find one that clicks with you and your workflow.

    A couple recommendations are

    • fedora (workstation or KDE spin)
    • Open suse
    • Pop_OS
    • Vanilla OS (once 2.0 comes out of beta)

    I've used all of these and they're all decent. I ended up sticking with fedora just because I had to tweak it the least to get my workflow how I want it.
