Thanks for the helpful information. I tried Ubuntu just a couple of weeks ago and I have to be honest, I got tired/afraid? too quickly, I used it for about 4 hours then I went back to Windows. I know I was not ready enough for the change, that’s the reason why I want to be better prepared this time. Regarding my daily usage of the software it is not something that is not available for Linux, I use MS Office (Libreoffice), I use the Jetbrains products since I want to get back to learning to code (again) and that is also available for Linux, I might be concerned about gaming on Linux since I have no idea of how to get it working there, I have read about lutrius, Wine, Proton but I barely know how to get it working or what is required for gaming. I want a good looking distro as well and I know that they are highly customizable but I just don’t want to break everything in my first week.

Here I found out that there is an Ubuntu “variation” Kubuntu that I had no idea it even existed. I like Fedora because I think that it is beautiful but I am afraid that due to the constant updates it can be a bad decision as my first distro.

It’s a laptop. -Ryzen 5 4500u -Nvidia 1650 ti -16gb ram -512 ssd

It is HP but I am not sure if that matters too much.
