Hey I’m cell and my bf of nearly 2 years asked me to switch to Linux because it’s “obv way better then windows” (his words xd) and until now I always said no. I didn’t wanna learn how to navigate through a new distro all over again. I gave it some thought and decided to make it his “Christmas” present that I’m installing Linux on my laptop :3 if any of you can give me advice on what type of Linux, like arch, I should install and what I should be aware of would really help!

    I think anyone who talks like this “linux is obv way better then windows” should just be brushed off. If he cant give you the actual reasons why you may WANT to switch then I dont think you should switch just as a present.

    Fedora with KDE desktop and non foss repo’s enabled is a good. Do not start with Arch unless you enjoy troubleshooting and learning and repeating the same steps over and over.

      He didn’t say it like that xd I can’t remember his exact words but he had a better explanation for it. He used Linux for like almost 2 years now I think.
