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 don't like the term, because to me, it implies that you have to emigrate from Mint to something else at some point, which is not the case.

I can totally understand where the implication comes from but I personally dont see it like that. I see it more as a measurement for how accessible something is.
