    As others have said, Mint or Pop_OS are your best options. It really depends on what you want in terms of layout. Do you want a more apple mac osx look or a Windows look, if you want Mac then pop, if you want Windows then mint. They’re both based on the same OS, Ubuntu, and in Mint’s case there’s a Debian edition. None of these have a price, they’re free, you have nothing to lose trying them out.

      Thanks. As a gamer, I am primarily looking for an OS that will run games without a hitch. To be honest this is what has kept me from switching previously.

      Realize this is a hot take, but, honestly I’d suggest Fedora, as it just always seemed more stable than Pop OS. Mint had core security issues some years back when I last look at it, not sure they’ve been resolved?

      I use the KDE version of Fedora. I installed Steam and Bottles, and I haven’t had a problem since.

      All AMD set up though, I can’t speak towards the Nvidia side of things.

        Only version of fedora anyone should be using for games is Nobara. The simple fact is fedora may be rock solid, but it’s definitely not as intuitive for a new user to add things like the copr repo for additional software etc.

          The COPR is the only other thing you have to do, at least that’s all I did.

          Click a checkbox to allow third party (COPR), install Steam, and install Bottles, all from the store UI. You’re making it sound more difficult than it is.

          And the problem with Nobara is it’s created/developed by just one person who’s doing it for his dad (per comments I’ve seen made by the developer) (I don’t know if that’s still the case). I rely on my OS, so I’m not willing to put myself into that situation of depending on just one person doing it as a hobby.

          The thing I like about Fedora is it’s (ultimately) backed by IBM, and it has more support for more hardware, fixes, etc.

            Thanks. My being a gamer (Steam) has kept me from using another OS as I was worried about compatibility issues. I will check it out.
