I'm really new to Linux and feeling a bit lost. Can anyone recommend some beginner-friendly distributions for someone who struggles with tech? I just want something easy to use and understand.

CachyOS is another distro that’s pretty noob-friendly. I’m a beginner too and found it easy to navigate.
You’re definitely not alone! I know someone who felt lost with tech but eventually learned how to do everything on her own because she had to. Just remember, there are tons of resources online like Google and YouTube to help you out. Don't hesitate to look things up yourself; it actually helps you learn faster!
When I first started with Linux, I found it helpful to use a virtual machine or a LIVE USB version. This way, you can try different distros without affecting your main system! With tools like Ventoy, testing is super easy now. Here are some links to explore:
- [What is a LiveUSB?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_USB)
- [Ventoy](https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html)
You can also check out live images for Debian and Mint. Just boot it up and give it a go!
Great tip! Trying it out on a Live USB sounds like a smart way to see what works for you.
Linux Mint is a popular choice for beginners! It's user-friendly and has a nice interface, making it easy to pick up. Plus, it’s well-supported by the community.
I also recommend Mint! It’s what my mom uses and she finds it pretty simple. If you're looking for something fun, Fedora could be worth checking out too – it has a quirky name to match!
Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll look into both Mint and Fedora.
I appreciate that! I’ll definitely start searching for more info myself.
