Top recommendation of within one hour of me posting this decides what distro I install. Please not Hannah Montana linux or even worse, Arch.
I leave the decision up to you.
Edit:
The winner was linux mint. I've downloaded the ISO and am installing now. I hope my boss doesn't get pissed.
Hannah Montana Linux
This is obviously the only correct answer.
I expect a screenshot of your desktop running it when youβre done polling this thread
Brb downvoting all the other OS ^^
Mint. It's dead simple and works great.
For a better touchscreen experience, try the Gnome Desktop. Some people hate it because ...because people, but I love it on my exactly-same-but-not-same latitude 7389 (Arch BTW) and thinkpad 390 yoga (Debian).
I actually like the lack of endless customisation options ; I really just change the background, install the Cube and the Wobbly Windows and I'm back to work. Which I should be at right now, sigh.
I use touchscreen on kde plasma and it works fine. Firefox just needs some customizing
Congratulations!
60 minutes. We have a winner.
Downloading the ISO now.
Idk if this is your first brush with Linux, I only recently had my own. Let us know if you need any help, but I promise that if you just follow the instructions, and you can, you'll get through it. ChatGPT can also be useful for bridging small knowledge gaps in tech and IT.
yep, mint always, if OP don't like the mint looks i sugest them fedora atomic(silverblue or kinoite)
I have bounced around a lot and found myself just wanting something stable with enough "newness" to still feel good. I started with mint and I ended on mint.
Definitely the best one directly following windows, and in my opinion best one overall.
Hannah Montana linux
yeah it was withing 3 votes of winning but here's hoping
Temple OS
This came way to close to winning. I don't think it counts as a linux distro though.
Fair, I did miss that requirement

Its good to be king, maybe. But its a sad story.
It is a sad story. Keeping it in legendary meme status is the best way to remember it IMO.
Uwuntu :3
The kawaiest OS on the market
Hannah Montana Linux
Debian Bookworm β yes, itβs boring β but that also means no surprises or gotchas β it just keeps truckinβ along
EDIT: if you ever do feel Arch-curious, start with EndeavourOS instead
Linux from Scratch
Fedora Silverblue.
Atomic
The whole system is updated in one go, and an update will not apply if anything goes wrong, meaning you will always have a working computer.
Well having a working computer would be an improvement.
How 'bout you decide for yourself? Despite what highschool and webster's dictionary suggest, what's popular has no bearing on what's right. In fact, what's popular has occasionally turned out to be Very Wrong.
Install Gentoo, feel the burn!
Debian with XFCE. Lightweight, clean and stable.
Fedora with KDE.
Arch Linux plssssss
If you want to keep it simple, just go with Gentoo
Red Star OS
UWUNTU , linux mint or fedora
THERE ARE FIVE LIGHTS Linux
Or just go NixOS so you may continue some amount of torment
Fedora Atomic, choose whatever DE you like.
If you like how Mint looks, install Mint. If you prefer KDE or GNOME, install Fedora Silver blue or Kinoite.
I mean , I think people have suggested those already. You can upvote them if you please.
