    I think I’ll do the same. I wasn’t switching because of compatibility but I realized that there are only 1 or 2 apps that don’t run natively and I don’t use them that often

    Which distro do you recommend? I haven’t used linux in a while, I usually went with ubuntu but I think that’s not the go-to anymore?

      I am no expert though I like Linux Mint it has a windows 7 feel to it which makes it a great distro to start with.

      Ubuntu is still really good and quite nicely polished. Alternatively, mint and fedora also get a lot of recommendations.

      I personally use ubuntu.

      Lots of people hate on Ubuntu for Snaps, but that’s your own preference. Any of the Ubuntu-based derivatives should work just as well. I would recommend Zorin or Mint, and probably throw PopOS! in for good measure.

      The distro recommendation is usually mint, but I’d like to know, what does your setup look like? (Monitor specs, PC specs etc)

        It’s a laptop with i3 gen 11, 12GB RAM, and I mainly use it for browsing, torrenting and watching movies (4K, connected to a TV)

      PopOS is highly recommended, I tried it for a bit and really liked it, I need to plug in a second drive on my main pc to dual boot it there
