I always recommend Pop_OS! for beginners. It’s IMHO a lot closer to what Ubuntu used to be, uses apt and/or flatpaks (and no snaps), has sane defaults, a good installer, a decent company behind it, nvidia drivers included and their upcoming Cosmic desktop environment looks sick.
Also, I feel like this is a better Fedora-based distro for beginners since it’s harder to break:
Totally agree. I bought these on sale earlier this year, and I was like, “THIS is what everyone kept recommending?”
They can be fun, but they’re PS2 God of War meets Star Wars. I think if you have no nostalgia for them, they’re 6.5/10 at best.
