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.

If I read OP correctly, they plan to livestream games. Screen capture isn't as smooth of an experience on Wayland as it is on X11. Which isn't to say one can't do screen capture on Wayland, but that it might be a point of frustration for a Linux newbie trying to stream or record their gameplay.

Tbh I haven't had that issue in a while om KDE, tho TBF I don't stream often. Screensharing on discord, meets, etc works perfectly fine tho, and I did manage to stream something with OBS.

I understood streaming as on the receiving end, e.g. watching streamed content online.
