I don't think you will do better than Linux Mint, I have been using it for 5 years and it is very good! I waited to the end of the video to see the results, and what do you know, you agree with me.
As a dedicated Windows user for more than 20 years, I decided to switch to Linux when Microsoft announced that requirements for Windows 11, which none of my computers could meet. I tried several of the distros you have reviewed, but settled for one you did not review. While you reviewed Ubuntu with its default Gnome desktop, you neglected to consider the various other flavors of Ubuntu that are available. The one that I settled on was Kubuntu, Ubuntu with the KDE Plasma desktop. This desktop environment is very comfortable for any Windows user. Furthermore, it is extremely customizable through the GUI. I rarely find it necessary to use the command line terminal program, Konsole. While it is not perfect, (What computer OS is?), it has, so far, met all my needs. I would love to see you try, and add Kubuntu to your list of distros for Windows users. Thank you.
@@driveman00 thanks so much for this. I will review this and see if I can add it. I probably will do a poll so that I get a comprehensive idea of any great options I have not personally used and left out.
I love Linux Mint Cinnamon for its ease of use and Windows 7 like interface. As far as Windows is concerned, 7 is my favorite version overall; however, I won't use it in today's hardware and computing environment, obviously. Now as far as Linux is concerned, can someone make it FULLY compatible with touchscreen and 2 in 1 laptops, please? And can the transition between xorg and Wayland be seamless? Goodness! As far as standard desktop PC hardware and standard laptops go, Linux Mint Cinnamon is THE way to go 😀.
I'm running Linux Mint on a Precision 5530 (4k touchscreen) and have a horrible time with menus appearing normal in multiple programs with 200% screen scaling. It's very annoying to make changes inside each program just to read the menus and see the icons without squinting.
@@johnrhines3473 Concerning Mint itself, did you raise the panel height and go with large icons and resize your mouse pointer? As far as touchscreens and software go, unfortunately, your mileage may vary. My desktop and old Toshiba laptop handle Mint extremely well; however, my Dell Inspiron 15 7579 2 in 1 laptop, well, let's just say Linux and it regarding the touchscreen isn't anywhere close to optimal, so to speak, so I have 10 on it as it is unsupported hardware (processor) for 11, unfortunately. If you have an 8th gen Intel or higher or 2nd gen Ryzen or higher you may want to upgrade from 10 to 11 just to have the activation key. Your call, though (you may want to try Mint in Wayland mode if you wish).
I am watching this on a former Windows 10 laptop that I installed Linux Mint on few days ago. I am adapting fairly easily to it the only issue needing to type in my password many times to do anything or if I walk away from computer few minutes. I really do not miss Windows.
I prefer Ubuntu Studio OS or Zorin Education OS or Edubuntu OS... etc... basically i am considering the having mostly already preinstalled Apps Linux Distributions...
My goto linux disros are, in no particular order, Linux Mint for Cinnamon or Mate desktops, Debian, either Bookworm or Trixie for Gnome, Ubuntu for Gnome and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for KDE. That said, currently my wife's laptop is running Linux Mint Cinnamon, and my desktop is running the same.
Mandrake, Mandriva and now called Mageia. Easy install with dual booting GRUB. Easy install of .rpm packages. The software depository has whatever you might need.
Firstly, Ubuntu's obsession with snaps makes it a hard pass for me, but for newcomers, I'd grant it a C+ or B-. I've been running MX for ages, the extra tools you mention are great, but they are options - you do not need to use them. Only slightly behind Mint in my opinion. Manjaro is based on Arch, but they hold some things back, guaranteed to break if you use AUR, so it's a hard pass. Instead, EndeavourOS is Arch done right and is my daily driver. S tier for those who want the latest without the headaches. For gamers, Garuda is also S tier, but overkill for "normal" users. A tier for them. But do not forget, the desktop choice makes a big difference too! No one-size-fits-all choice, but here are my recommendations: For most, on modern hardware, Mint. For those wanting more up-to-date software, EndeavourOS/KDE on modern hw, EndeavourOS/XFCE on older or lower spec machines. For gamers, Garuda or Pop!
Replacing WIndows 10 with Fedora Kinoite. Work so well. Not sure why you think its incomplete. I love it comes with the bare minimum so I add the flatpak apps I need and I am done. It is super solid and does not break easily.
depends alot on whom is coming to linux and there lvl of know how/comfort. myself I put folks on lmde or q4os trinity mostly if they are new/low know how. if there a tech minded person...opensuse or deepinos. and if there a bit mad? ill put em on whatever iam mainlining at the time... atm for example Nyarch.
Windows User wants Secure Boot and Pop OS doesnt support it! 😂😂😂 Windows User wants desktop to be most similar like Windows and Pop OS is more Similar with Android Smartphones than Windows. The Option will be Fedora with KDE Spin.Its easy to use and install and works with Secure Boot out of the box

Agreed,I tried a few other Distros but Mint seems the most'Win 7" like,which was my OS of choice prior to 2020
Using Win7 daily but thinking more about Linux (Mint) as time goes by.

@@lse123polis makes sense
All you need is RPM FUSION and Fedora is good to go. Even if you are a windows, casual pc user... I think you can read and learn new things.
@@AlexandreD30 ah yes. This would work
My top picks are Linux Mint, OS Zorin OS, Kubuntu OS and Tuxedo OS.

This feels AI generated
It might be but if it is,it is a step above most AI narration I hear elsewhere-proper intonations,sounds human like.
Yep, I was just going say this.
💯 no doubt about it
Just the guys voice, everyone wants to make video's for English speakers. Thats where the money is.
First thing I though before clicking off it. I wish there was a way you could filter out AI crap from RUclips.
Mx linux is good on old pc, even my wifi and printer work out of the box, no need going searching for drivers.
I use my BBC Model B as my go to computer 😂
beeee - booop. now that takes me back.
every distro that support secure boot oob is easy to use for newbie

@@sigillinux I totally love this comment. Thanks.
No Ubuntu for me Snap 😢
Suse user😊
1st distro 30 Years ago Suse Linux
Mandrake 😊
There is nothing wrong with using snaps. Yes its Proprietary but you use the tool that suits your needs.
What no Debian?
cause debian is not for newbie ... it is so old ......
Zorin top tier right beside Linux Mint
@@mhutton56 Not quite, unfortunately 🤔
i use fedora btw , cause i like bleeding edge and dont want to disable secure boot

Fedora and Wayland sucks.
@CowboyTrucking61 why? For me this works great and smooth
Fedora is Corporate=Redhat and IBM. Fedora is a testing distro for Redhat, so lots of AI is coming your way.
@HOBBS-44 Corporate isnt every time automaticly evil.....its a bit stupid thinking.
@@demerdemer328 well, have you heard that Ai is coming to Fedora in a big way LOL Wake up, time to move.
U missed one BigLinux 😎
