I have been using Windows my entire life, but since I got my Steam Deck I’ve been considering trying to get into Linux.
I obviously don’t have much of an idea where to begin, other than that I’m currently also trying to learn Javascript. I’d like a basic workstation I can code on and mess with, that doesn’t run more than a couple hundred. Could use some recommendations for hardware plus where to begin.
Install Debian, and if you’ve got a reasonable powerful computer, install NixOS in a virtual machine. Then, when it breaks and you get frustrated, you aren’t down to zero OSes.
I would never recommend installing Debian. Everything is soo manual. Fedora has the way better user experience with everything preconfigured.
Ah. You haven’t tried installing it since 1902.

I literally upgraded 6 PCs to Debian 12 and it was a pain in the ass
I’m honestly baffled
They dont even have a “sudo apt system-upgrade”, while this is a fully automateable process.
I needed to follow some random blogpost because I could not find any official (big advertized) documentation.
