I’m moving away from Windows and I’m looking for distro for coding and occasional gaming. If more context is needed please let me know.
Ubuntu or Mint (Ubuntu based) are the clear winners, I see recently a mild return to Fedora and OpenSuse but I wouldn’t start with them
Why not? I’ve been using nobara KDE (fedora based) for the past weeks now (just a few weeks of pop os before) and I’m perfectly happy.
Well fedora isn’t really a beginner friendly distro. The community is much smaller, and there is a lot more outdated or bad advice circulating when searching an issue.
When I installed fedora on my laptop some months ago, I wanted to switch the ffmpeg install and get codecs installed. Even fedora’s documentation was outdated.
Only by searching and digging in some websites I found a command I had to do to make it world, in order to switch the ffmpeg version away from the open fedora version…
I see, that makes sense. thanks!
Pop_OS!
Linux Mint is awesome for beginners.
