    You could try distrosea before committing to an install.

    It gives you a VM online to play around in for almost any distro you can think of.

    Don’t forget that desktop environment (DE) and distro are decoupled in Linux, so if you didn’t like the feel of Ubuntu (GNOME DE) you can go with Kubuntu (KDE Plasma DE). Both are on DistroSea.

      Wow! That’s really awesome thanks for that - I’ll have to dig around before I choose a flavor. I was going to go with Linux mint because I had good success with them previously overall and I’m surprised they’re still kicking along haha

      But I’ll still dig around to see how other distro’s look and feel. Thx again for the link

      I highly recommend KDE these days, on Ubuntu or other. It’s just so damn usable and flexible.

        Yeah? I tried Linux Mint Cinnamon edition on a friend’s computer and the Gnome they’re running seemed sufficient for my needs. Is KDE really that much better “out of the box” without the need to customize?
