Hey everyone! I'm new to the Linux world and looking for a comfortable distro for dual booting. I plan to do some coding, but I'm also really interested in customizing my desktop to make it look great. I've previously tried using Arch with i3 but found it a bit overwhelming. Currently, I've settled on Pop OS, but I've heard that it's not the best for customization and ricing. Can anyone recommend a user-friendly distribution along with a desktop environment that's great for aesthetics? Also, I have an NVIDIA graphics card, so I'd like to know if there are any distro-specific concerns with that.

Honestly, the best way to find a distro you like is to try a few out. Just download some ISOs like Ubuntu, Mint, or even Fedora, and run them in a VM for a bit. Most distros are similar in functionality—you'll want to pay attention to the desktop environment they use, such as KDE, GNOME, or XFCE. Just remember, at some point, you might have to use the terminal for things, regardless of which distro you choose. Don't stress too much about what others say! Find one that feels right for you after some hands-on testing.
Exactly! It's all about finding what fits your lifestyle. Plus, once you get comfortable, the ‘rules’ about distro hopping kind of fade away.
