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!

+1 get an old laptop or desktop to play with, install arch from scratch all the way to a display/login manager and desktop environment with a browser able to watch youtube videos, then tear it down and repeat the process 5 times. that'll learn you a lot real quick
