I’m wondering what the current favorite distros are besides the most popular ones like Arch, Debian and Fedora.

    I really enjoy ZorinOS! I’ve been using ZorinOS 16.3 and am awaiting the upgrade to 17 through their tool. It’s been great for a PC that has an Nvidia GTX1060 that I have hooked up to my TV as a twitch/YouTube/Netflix box. I chose Zorin because they claimed to get the Nvidia drivers installed correctly “out of the box”, and they delivered!

      Glad it worked well for you. Didn’t work well for me with my 2070 super. Was immediately broken and refused to acknowledge my second monitor. Linux Mint worked perfectly, so I just want to throw that out there for anyone with the same gpu

        Man that sucks that it didn’t work for you out of the box. I had tried Solus and Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 and I couldn’t get the screen to resize past the default 800x600 or something like that and the refresh rate was stuck at a low number. Zorin did it all straight away. I hope more distros start getting the whole picture right soon. Glad you found something that worked for you too!
