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.

I shifted from Neon to Kubuntu on my work machine. Figured that Neon was a good shout because it's the official KDE distro, only to later discover that KDE now consider it to be end of life, and are working on a reacent.

Kubuntu is basically the same (from my perspective), but has continuing support.
