I've always wanted to switch to Linux so why not start now. The question is, what really is best for me? Should I experiment with various distributions? Are there varying levels of security with them? And more curiously, what is Poal using?

Mint looked like a great place to dip my toes, but I was thinking either openSUSE or Arch based on one of the guides posted here.

Any and all advice is appreciated!

I am a noob, so a lot of the limits are user. Specifically, i had problems with my router configuration after a lightening strike killed my modem. Also installing new programs while using a boot usb was not possible with the way i had set up my Mint usb.

But the plus is i didn’t have to partition my computer to run two OSs. Also, i could use windows while i was learning Mint. It only cost me a usb and time.

Get usb. Format usb. Write Mint iso to usb Profit
