ubuntu is usually a good first choice, I go with xubuntu

I prefer Linux Mint over Ubuntu. Uses slightly less resources, has a better software manager, is just as easy to use for beginners (if not easier) and supports various software and codecs by default

Solus Linux all the way!

Mint or UbuntuMATE

I cannot in good faith recommend installing a Linux-based operating system onto a desktop machine any longer, there's just too many unsupported pieces of both hardware and software.

@hobbledehoy899 "I cannot in good faith recommend installing a Linux-based operating system onto a desktop machine any longer, there's just too many unsupported pieces of both hardware and software." <- doesn't mean it shouldn't be tried out if you're curious

@ihaveamac Trying something out and installing something in earnest are two different things.

I actually rarely find any hardware that isn’t supported, especially older hardware. Software is also growing compared to before
hobbledehoy899
Audio cards that have features that are software controlled are just one example I can think of of hardware that isn't (at least fully) supported by Linux.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve yet to find a significant amount of people effected by such a situation. I can look into it though to see if it’s something worth looking out for
