I have no experience with Linux, but I’d like to give it a try. I’m looking at the System76 Meerkat and Thelio with the Pop!_OS option.

I don’t see myself gaming on it because I have a Windows machine for just that. I’d mostly be using it for learning Linux and doing basic things like web surfing and word processing (Libreoffice perhaps).

Any recommendations or advice? Thanks!

    Yes, I started off with Pop! As my first distro back when I started to use Linux. TBH you can’t really go wrong with Pop! Or Mint as your first choice.

      Second vote for Mint - used to use it for many years, and the Cinnamon version is both a great interface outright and should be an easy transition from Windows.

      Mint was my previous distro of choice but I ended with Pop because it keeps updating the kernel, and some of my hardware works better or gained new functions (my Logitech webcam for example).
