I am dual-booting with Windows. Which distro should I use? I am a noob in Linux
@code_kartik Just use WSL2. Plus whatever answer you get.
@code_kartik Ubuntu or Linux Mint. Ubuntu gives me more of a "f yeah, Linux" vibe. Linux Mint's desktop design is very similar to Windows so that can be more comfortable.
A lot of people will tell you to Arch or some other abomination like it. Do not fall for it. It is a trap. That way lies madness. You install Arch once, and soon you find yourself compiling kernels and patching Nvidia drivers in memory to eke out 1 more ms, bro, just one more, and it'll work this time for sure bro, that's all we need, one more ms. Just be normal and install Ubuntu in WSL.
@code_kartik Ubuntu is probably the fastest/easiest to transition to. If you want ultimate control and reliability, Arch is the way.
Recommended Just go full Linux but I don't think distro matters, sry y'all ... I'm on Ubuntu lol. People speak highly of debian arch nixos for the minimalism and such but I find Ubuntu fine but I'm longtime user do don't want to high effort switch. Hardware is cheap these days I wouldn't recommend dual booting because hardware is cheap basically, if you want windows and Linux together in one U can use wsl2 but I enjoy pure Linux as there's a slow filesystem link issue moving files between wsl2 in and out
@code_kartik WSL2 is free with Windows. No dual booting required. Recommend Ubuntu for path of least resistance.
@code_kartik Ubuntu FTW. The most troubleshooted distro ever. Rocking it since 2005, never needed any other distro.
@code_kartik Ubuntu and install omakub on top of it Omakub.org
@code_kartik i have heard that arch is pretty beginner friendly
@code_kartik Try ubuntu! It's sasta sundar tikau and mostly used distro by servers as well.
@code_kartik Nix but you have to learn nix and the nix.
@code_kartik Start with @ubuntu or Pop OS by @system76
@code_kartik Kubuntu. Ubuntu, but with a better desktop environment.
