I want to finally move to linux. But i am unsure whats the best.

I searched for some distros and i came to two distros i could imagine using.

  1. Kubuntu
  2. Fedora Workstation ( or Fedora Silverblue or any other Inmutuable desktop )
  3. Linux Mint ( Thanks @owenfromcanada@lemmy.world )

I am open to any other distro / ui if there is any good for beginner.

I know Fedore is related to Red Hat and many dont like it because it is a Enterprise Linux and paid. But i dont know.

My things i would like to do on Linux would be:

  1. Browse ( Lemmy ;), watch YT a bit )
  2. Code ( and use SFTP and SSH )
  3. Game ( few and simple games, some are on steam )

Thanks and have a great day!

EDIT: I am on Linux Mint now its great! I love the customisation its like the pre enshitification windows 7 where you changed almost everything . I like the multi Workplace function. The only sad thing is that my gpu driver cant use open source drivers. I like that encryption is ready to use. Everything is fast, easy to use. I use steam with proton. Its just great!

    I would recommended Linux mint any day. It is just so user friendly.

    Another word of advise, don’t download software, fonts, icon themes or anything else off the internet. They are all available in software manager
