Machine is a HP ENVY x360 Convertible 15-eu1xxx with the touch screen. Ryzen 7 5825U, touch screen 16gb RAM.

Top recommendation of within one hour of me posting this decides what distro I install. Please not Hannah Montana linux or even worse, Arch.

I leave the decision up to you.

Edit:

The winner was linux mint. I've downloaded the ISO and am installing now. I hope my boss doesn't get pissed.

Hannah Montana Linux

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 63 points 8 months ago

This is obviously the only correct answer.

Mint. It's dead simple and works great.

For a better touchscreen experience, try the Gnome Desktop. Some people hate it because ...because people, but I love it on my exactly-same-but-not-same latitude 7389 (Arch BTW) and thinkpad 390 yoga (Debian).

I actually like the lack of endless customisation options ; I really just change the background, install the Cube and the Wobbly Windows and I'm back to work. Which I should be at right now, sigh.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 8 points 8 months ago

I use touchscreen on kde plasma and it works fine. Firefox just needs some customizing

60 minutes. We have a winner.

Downloading the ISO now.

[-] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 9 points 8 months ago

Idk if this is your first brush with Linux, I only recently had my own. Let us know if you need any help, but I promise that if you just follow the instructions, and you can, you'll get through it. ChatGPT can also be useful for bridging small knowledge gaps in tech and IT.

[-] Vilian@lemmy.ca 12 points 8 months ago

yep, mint always, if OP don't like the mint looks i sugest them fedora atomic(silverblue or kinoite)

[-] littletranspunk@lemmus.org 8 points 8 months ago

I have bounced around a lot and found myself just wanting something stable with enough "newness" to still feel good. I started with mint and I ended on mint.

Definitely the best one directly following windows, and in my opinion best one overall.

Temple OS

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 29 points 8 months ago

This came way to close to winning. I don't think it counts as a linux distro though.

[-] jeffhykin@lemm.ee 16 points 8 months ago

Fair, I did miss that requirement

Its good to be king, maybe. But its a sad story.

[-] jeffhykin@lemm.ee 10 points 8 months ago

It is a sad story. Keeping it in legendary meme status is the best way to remember it IMO.

Debian Bookworm – yes, it’s boring – but that also means no surprises or gotchas – it just keeps truckin’ along

EDIT: if you ever do feel Arch-curious, start with EndeavourOS instead

Suicide Linux

If you mistype a command your distro gets destroyed.

Fedora Silverblue.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

Atomic

The whole system is updated in one go, and an update will not apply if anything goes wrong, meaning you will always have a working computer.

Well having a working computer would be an improvement.

How 'bout you decide for yourself? Despite what highschool and webster's dictionary suggest, what's popular has no bearing on what's right. In fact, what's popular has occasionally turned out to be Very Wrong.

[-] puppy@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

Fedora with KDE.

[-] Aggravationstation@lemmy.ml 11 points 8 months ago

Debian with XFCE. Lightweight, clean and stable.

[-] GarlicToast@programming.dev 9 points 8 months ago

NixOS or Debian. Don't install Ubuntu or Arch on your work computer.

FreeBSD.

because, why not?

[-] tkk13909@sopuli.xyz 8 points 8 months ago

If you like how Mint looks, install Mint. If you prefer KDE or GNOME, install Fedora Silver blue or Kinoite.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

I mean , I think people have suggested those already. You can upvote them if you please.

[-] noxy@yiffit.net 8 points 8 months ago

THERE ARE FIVE LIGHTS Linux

Or just go NixOS so you may continue some amount of torment
