    The best Linux Distro for Newbies, Average and Windows PC Users.

    Date: Jan 21 2025
    Summary

    It's the best Linux distro I have tried so far. Robust, reliable, and easily manageable Linux OS. Especially for newbies and average PC users.

    Easy to use, manage and very flexible. Everything (in most cases) is running flawlessly out of the box.

    In some cases, you need to use the terminal for accomplishing and sorting out things.
