Distro recommendations and experiences (feddit.uk)

Hello,

I just purchased an AMD framework 13 and while I wait (im)patiently for it to arrive, I was wondering what Linux distros people here are using.

I've only ever use Ubuntu on desktop, but I think I'm ready to move away from it now, which I guess leaves fedora and mint as officially supported distros.

What have you tried? What are your experiences?

So you can set up other distributions to run Windows apps as well, Zorin just makes it a little easier. When you first try to run a Windows executable you'll be prompted to install the necessary components to run Windows apps. After everything is set up, a decent number of windows apps can be run straight from the file browser without having to open up bottles or something. Not everything will run though, and for games you may get better performance running through bottles or lutris.
