What's with everyone suggesting distros that come pre-infested with the rootkit known as ?
Go with something that chooses to follow the Unix philosophy: do one thing and do it well.
I'm using Devuan, which is literally just Debian without systemd, which makes it easy to find software and tutorials as they're 99% the same.
AntiX is pretty good as well, it's a bit more light-weight so it'll run better on slower PCs.
so if you're not happy with one you can switch to another quite easily.
Edit: AntiX is pantifa bullshit. Didn't realise this when I used it, as I skipped past the intro page. I mean, it's still a nice distro to use, very light-weight, but it can't be trusted. If you want a light-weight system Alpine Linux might be a better choice, but it is very different in usability to Debian, so it'd probably be better on a second computer, not as a daily driver unless you're comfortable with the command-line and Linux concepts in general (which will come in time with daily Linux use).
This guy knows what's up. Everyone suggesting a Linux distro with systemd is suggesting you replace windows with windows.
Isn't Antix ran by some antifas from Greece? How can you trust it?
I honestly had no idea. Thanks for the heads-up, I've edited my post to add that in.

As if it was a real life problem...
Drivers are a real life problem
Any issue that Devuan has with drivers will be present in Debian as well. Devuan is 95-99% Debian under the hood, they've only removed the systemd packages and changed any that have hard dependencies on systemd libraries.
~80% of users will have no problems with just enabling the non-free repos and then installing the appropriate drivers for their card. It goes up to ~95% if the Nvidia driver repos are used, as they're more frequently updated, and are more inline with the Windows versions. They're only needed for gaming though, regular desktop use is perfectly fine with the repo versions.
Irrelevant
The main problem with linux is drivers, that's it
The fuckeries with systemd is just stuffs you read, that's not real life problems
And debian is sometimes a pain in the ass with its "purist" philosophy, stuffs are lacking as a result, you have to add manually... Take the distro where you don't have to do it then
