    I HIGHLY recommend backing everything you give a fuck about and wiping the disk clean. Because windows breaks linux.

    Before you look at a list of distros and wonder which one to install, choose if you are __:

    Arch Linux -> if you think you know how linux exactly works (likely not)

    Arch-based distros (CachyOS, EndeavourOS, etc.) -> If you want to use arch but with some help

    Linux Mint -> Recommended for beginners.

    Fedora -> It just works :tm:

    Debian -> ol’ reliable

    openSUSE -> If you tweaked windows

    Atomic Distros -> if you want a system that you can’t break

      Or if you want to be forced to learn how Linux exactly works lol

      Appreciate the advice. I put Ubuntu Studio on my laptop the other day, wiping Windows completely. I was more wondering about distro to distro, I see people say they try other distros a lot and was wondering if they wipe everything each time or if there’s a way to transfer between distros?
