▲ 425 ▼ When Windows 10 dies, I am going to jump ship over to Linux. Which version would you recommend for someone with zero prior experience with Linux? Edit: Linux Mint it shall be.

Linux Mint shall be my next OS! Though, I think I'll give Pop!OS a look-see as well.

Very easy to install and use and most games I've tried to play work without any problems. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] illusoryMechanist@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago This, especially if you have NVIDIA. permalink fedilink source parent [–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) The only thing I would maybe hesitate about with POP! OS is the big upcoming switch to the COSMIC desktop, which is is brand-new and a bit untested. But also System76 are a really solid company and seem to know what they're doing so it'll probably be fine. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BreakDecks@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago Even so, changing desktops in Pop! is pretty easy. I generally recommend new users watch a few videos on different Desktops and consider what would work best for them. It also really shows you the level of customization you're going to get. permalink fedilink source parent
