    Most distros have a great getting started guide.

    If you have an Nvidia card, make sure you’re looking at distros with Nvidia support and are using the correct installer version for Nvidia support.

    Some great distros to look into with above in mind:

    • PopOS
    • Ubuntu: Nvidia requires a few additional terminal commands unfortunately.
    • Mint
    • Fedora
    • A handful of others that I’m sure you’ve seen mentioned

    Also avoid Arch linux unless you’re ready to dive into the deep end of linux. As much as I thing it’s a great distro, and abstracts away a lot of the difficulties or Arch, Garuda Linux, should probabaly be avoided as well until you’re more comfortable with Linux due to its Arch roots (even if the docs are robust, they dive deep on tech concepts and require tons of requisite knowledge).

      Awesome, that’s some great leads especially with a Nvidia card.

      I’ll try and pick the easiest one without any grub work, I faintly remember my old school courses and have a faint reminder of hearing about grub. Didn’t sound like something to touch without the knowhow, Ill be careful.

      Thanks!
