[–] mapleseedfall@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (2 children) Would lmde be as good? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] flubba86@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago Yeah, LMDE is pretty good. I used it for a couple of years during my rage-against-Ubuntu phase. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Jason2357@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 months ago Honestly, dont take anyones recommendation. It takes 10 minutes to create a bootable USB for a Linux distro once you get the hang of it. Try a handful of different “easy” distros and desktops on a Saturday morning and pick one that seems to work well on your computer and that you find you like. What you find intuitive isnt necessarily good for another, etc. A little time invested in shopping will pay off later (which is true for a lot of things). permalink fedilink source parent
