Hi guys, I have a question if you would be so kind. I’m a professional developer looking to finally make a semi break into Linux.

My daily driver is a Legion 5 / 6800H with 3070ti 32GB and I have been running Linux Mint in a virtual box now for a few weeks.

I can’t make a 100% transition over to Linux due to the nature of my work but I could be running at round 80-90% of my work via a Linux OS.

With the above said, I’m finally going to install a dual boot instance today. Is Mint a good starting point? Anyone else have experience with Mint and Legion or would you recommend I start somewhere else? (I have heared many people mention POP OS).

Essentially I want something I can jump head first into and just make a start familiarising myself.

I’m trying to regain some control over my data and a jump to Lemmy and a Jump away from Windows feels like a solid start !

Thank you and keep rocking…

    Just moved to Linux from Win10 for my workstation. I chose Fedora KDE Plasma and am loving it. Sometimes had to discover different ways to do things. Miss some things from Win10 but found other things that save me time.

      It’s like a complete treasure trove out there ! So many different flavours to choose from :)

      I’ll have to dedicate one of my spare rigs to test driving some of these distro’s for sure and added this to the top of list.

      Thank you ;)
