I've tried out Linux Mint Cinnamon, Fedora, and Zorin OS, but none of them really suit my style. I'm looking for recommendations for good Linux distributions that work well on a low-end PC. Here are my specs: I have an Intel® Core™ i5-6440HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz (quad-core), an AMD Radeon R7 m360 graphics card, and 8GB of RAM. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

What exactly are you looking for in a distro? Are you switching from Windows or Mac? It would help if you could share what features you want!
Did you only try Fedora with the GNOME desktop environment? If that’s the case, consider trying Fedora KDE instead. It offers a user experience that’s quite different and may feel more like Windows.
I did give KDE a shot, but honestly, it's still pretty confusing for a newbie like me.
I personally love Nobara! It manages a lot of the tweaking for you, making it user-friendly. By the way, check out this site: [whatsyourlinux.org](https://whatsyourlinux.org/) — it might also help you find something good for you!
The site suggested that POP OS is the best fit for me. Is it any good?
This is my first time using Linux, and I’m coming from Windows 11. I want a customizable distro that can handle regular productivity tasks and is good for coding too.
