Like.. what exactly lol?

Most discussions about Linux here devolve into distro sledging lol.

Even the joke stuff like Nvidia is from a bygone era.

My personal recommendation is Fedora, but any competent distro is miles more user friendly than current windows 11.

Distros from that joke stuff era are more user friendly than Windows 11.

I'm still plugging along with Windows 10. :) It's mostly just laziness about having to go through and reinstall everything on a clean install that's causing the most resistance to change, and the thought of learning an operating system I'm not familiar with just adds to the inertia.

What even are the significant differences with different distros? I've seen Bazzite recommended as the best one for gaming. Mint comes pretty strongly recommended as well.
