Looking to switch to Linux in the somewhat distant future
Any distro I should use?
You're viewing a single thread.
Thinking of using Linux mint, anything else?
Mint is my favourite beginner distro, can't really go wrong with it. What's your main use for your PC (gaming, office, development etc.)? There are some distros that are more well suited for certain tasks.
LMDE is also good, just a different version of Mint. Basically works the same.
I'm currently daily driving LMDE after some time. For OP it probably won't matter so choosing main line mint might be better.
Linux Mint all the way.
