I'm trying to find a suitable Linux distribution for my setup. Here are my specs: CPU: Intel i3-3220 with 4 cores at 3.3GHz, GPU: Intel HD Graphics, and I have 8GB of DDR3 RAM. I'm mainly looking to surf the web and do some coding. What distros do you recommend?

If you're looking for something lightweight, I'd suggest checking out Linux Mint with the Xfce desktop. It's user-friendly and works well on your setup!
It really depends on what you want to do. Any distro should work fine, but if you're looking for something polished, Pop!_OS is fantastic. It’s based on Ubuntu, super easy to install, and it just works with most hardware right away. Plus, the application store is pretty handy. If you want a bit more control, you might also consider Debian, but it's more for someone comfortable with tweaking things.
