    My following recommendations are often pretty easy for new users: Ubuntu, Linux Mint, ZorinOS. These distros will give you a chance to become more familiar with linux without getting overly lost in the process. Debian based distros tend to be the best starting place, as they often just work, their approach to Third Party Drivers is sane.

    I recommend you steer clear of Arch or Arch-Based distros like CachyOS…If you are just starting out, this will not be a good experience for you. I’ve found that installers of either EndeavourOS or CachyOS can fail in ways you aren’t prepared for, like failing to install the Linux Kernel or failing to allow you to correctly install partitions. Please, don’t listen to those that recommend CachyOS or anything Arch Linux. Unless you are prepared to cry, or are very technically inclined and can figure stuff out fast.
