I have used linux in a past job (I did not set it up), so im not a total noob with linux. But I am far from an expert. I bought a tablet that had a flavor of linux on it and found myself woefully unprepared trying to navigate the tablet. I was planning to use it for DnD for pdf reading, but it apparently wasn’t capable of that bcz it was a rather custom OS. With windows 10 support being dropped by Microsoft in the next few months, I want to transition my desktop to Linux, and I thought I’d get a headstart on that. I have a windows 11 laptop (and I hate it), but im kinda stuck with it for now. So, in the spirit of I am a noob who isn’t quite a noob, what do ya’ll recommend? p.s. I used Ubuntu for a bit way way back in high school

Edit: I do game dev with Unreal. Another user pointed out that may affect my choice of distro

    I’ve found that any of the top distros work just fine. It’s the Desktop Environment that I interact with most often, so I’d spend some time studying which is most comfortable. (I’m a Gnome man myself.) Go to distrowatch.com as they do a pretty good job describing each distro and their standard packages.
