New to Linux which OS to use? (lemdro.id)

Finally making the transition from Windows to a Linux. I'm pretty sure it's been asked several times but which Linux OS would you recommend a beginner to use? I've seen Ubuntu and Mint as a good start. Not looking to do much. Game here and there (not too worried about Linux compatibility), streaming, editing videos. If I break any rules. I'm sorry.

Wow, that seems like a rather hostile take on the matter if I've ever seen one. But I feel like you might be conflating stuff OR hurt yourself while trying to force your way on an "immutable" distro.

After learning the ropes on how to install and manage software, there's not really much to Bazzite. Unless you somehow happen to be dealing with one of the ever-so-rare-becoming edge-cases it can't deal with.

My stepfather had a bad experience with one of them, and I think he's currently using Fedora (with Wayland), but that's at least better than whatever that distro was (I think it might have been Bluefin or something like that, a Fedora Immutable derivative).

That's why I'm currently against immutable distros as of right now.

Interesting. Thanks for the clarification! It would have been even more helpful if you could recall more details about the bad experience. Thanks in advance!
