    If you just need a general purpose desktop and it’s your your first time, I would suggest just picking a popular and stable one with lots of documentation like Debian, Mint or Ubuntu.

      I’m leaning towards Debian myself. I don’t like the direction Ubuntu (mint is essentially Ubuntu too) is going. Ubuntu is ran by a for profit company, and it is only going to get worse after snaps.

      From what I’ve read Debian is about as new user friendly as Ubuntu is.

        As someone who switched a year ago and started from Debian - yes, it absolutely is beginner-friendly)

            I only play Team Fortress 2, and it runs with no issues) But when it comes to normally-windows games, people say it’s mostly fine. Haven’t yet tried myself though.
