I’ve been using EndeavourOS for 12 months now.
Very light steam gaming. Office stuff is basically web browsers (occasionally I have to swap to windows boot for silly excel spreadsheets that don’t work online). Programming is delightful.
It’s been solid, and the installer was great.
The major issues have been from dual booting windows (disable fast boot!) and from not updating frequently enough (keychain issues, tho endeavouros has plenty of “newb needs to update” helpers).
I love it. It’s mine, I own that laptop, and endeavouros works for me. I feel so much more in control than I ever did on windows.
I do have some basic experience running Debian servers (VMs for single service, or docker stuff), and I do programming.
Brave to say such controversial things in a Linux community!
pc gamer is a linux community?
anyways, since y’all here: I wanna change to Linux but didn’t use any for almost 20 years (changed my lavor of nerd to social science amid others).
Soo whats the best one if you don’t have tooo much time on your hands for some proper computer nerding?
I do light gaming, office stuff and torrents.
Thanks so much in advance!

Mint is very popular and easy
Debian Stable works great for me out of the box.
