A few beginner questions about the differences between distros.
-
If you can figure out how to make a Debian usb installer without help then you’ll be fine.
-
Thanks for your comment. Sounds like KDE's the way foward. Package management sounds like it'll be part of the learning curve but nothing I can't handle.
-
Copy that, will be sure to confirm compatibility and experiment
-
Sounds like experimentation's the aim of the game. Just got a USB so will use that to try.
-
PS is just what I use, I'm not married to it. Also not really a power user so don't mind reskilling.
-
C# is my bread and butter for personal projects. I use IntelliJ at work so might give rider a try.
-
Yeah, I've been thinking of Upgrading my PC once I have the capital. I might end up fully switching off Intel. I chose Intel when I did my build because AMD had a bit of a reputation of poor reliability. I understand though that they've since far outgrown it.
-
Yeah, I did just mean applications in general. Also, not married to PS. It's just what I use. I don't mind switching.
-
I love a bit of shameless self promotion. Especially if it's that comprehensive.
-
Copy that. Got myself a USB so I'll do some playing. Thanks for the clarification. As for hardware, only weird thing might be my sound card but we'll see how that plays out.
-
Wow, that was really comprehensive and clear, thank you. I'll digest and factor into the deliberations. Reckon I'll also switch to AMD with my next build. Main reason I went Intel/Nvidea is cuz AMD's old reputation was still ringing in my ears when I build it.
-
Copy that. I'll look a bit more into the baked in differences then. I understand that different packages can be converted with some effort. Will need to research the others.

-
Thank you for the advice. I'm definitely approaching this as a learning experience, something I've never really shied away from.
-
Your laptop has a gyro?
I'll give Fedora a go.
-
Thank you kindly. All is a learning experience in life so this should be fun.
-
Will take under consideration. Know a few mates who reccomend mint
-
Just went out and got a USB to use. Will start playing around when I get a free day.
-
Got some mates who are fans of Mint. but yeah. I'll set up a boot USB and start playing around.
-
this might be ringing in late, but consider a large USB disk with Ventoy on it. you can just drop multiple ISOs on it, and then select which one you want you boot from right at boot time.
this will give you the ability to easily try multiple distros without too much commitment.
