I've been using Windows and Linux in a dual-boot setup for a while now, but I've decided to fully switch to Linux as my main operating system. I have some experience with Linux, having been on and off for about 4-5 years, but I'm no expert. I've primarily used Fedora, Ubuntu, and Mint, and I've found each to be great in its own way. However, I'm looking for your opinions because I struggle with decision-making. My typical tasks include coding, general web browsing, and occasionally managing my Proxmox VMs through SSH. Just as a heads up, I'm using a Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen-7.

You might want to try out the "LiveDisk" installers most distros offer. This way, you can test them out without making any commitments. Just get a feel for a few and see which one suits you best!
Mint has been a solid choice for me. It was my first distro, and I switched to Mint after trying out Bazzite, which is Fedora-based with KDE Plasma. I did run into some unrelated issues, but I've been pretty happy with Mint overall. You can't really go wrong with either of those!
Trying a few out is definitely a good idea! I started with Ubuntu, then tried Mint and eventually settled on Fedora because of the HDR support it provided. It's all about finding what clicks for you.
I have similar experiences! Just curious, how do you find Fedora compared to the others once you got used to it?
