I used Ubuntu once a few years ago but had compatability issues so I went back to windows. Not a great programmer but I’d like to learn. I’m not looking to do much gaming beyond DOOM2 and factorio. Mostly looking for privacy and a way to get back into programming (I have this pipe dream of learning Assembly). I’m not to particular on UI, I can use whatever.

    Whatever distro looks good to you is a good place to start. Think of distros as default configurations, you can basically change most stuff whenever you want.

    Avoid Arch, just in case.

      Screw you, Arch is great. It’s not for everybody, but if you want to know how your system is set up, decide what’s running on it, and don’t mind researching and maintaining your software, it’s lovely.

      Sincerely, I use Arch BTW

        I use Arch too, friend.
