Please try linux mint, it truly is an exellent and nearly bullet proof OS. Pretty much the most popular distro so theres a good chance if you ever do run into an issue or want to know something its not hard to find the info you need with a simple query. No driver jankiness or hardware support issues ive ever experienced either.
Mints cinnamon desktop environment is very different to Plasma KDE. You may find it more pleasant to use. What are you unhappy about with your current distro and what makes you want to move back to windows
Maybe I'm an old dog now, but the new GNOME and KDE desktops kind of grate on me just like the new Win10 does
Seconding Linux Mint for transitioning Windows users, especially with the Cinnamon DE. They'll wonder why they ever hesitated.
No need to fully distrohop, just install Cinnamon
I would suggest Fedora KDE spin or Opensuse. Both have KDE as first class citizen.
I mean if their problems were Plasma-specific, it might also be a good idea to try Gnome or something instead.
True but I would go with Mate, Budgie or XFCE because I'm an old fashioned guy :) The new (now it's old I guess) gnome philosophy hasn't made a lot of sense to me on a non-touch device.
Exactly, it feels gimmicky as hell and barely workable when you need to start dealing with more than one ahem, window or boxes of stuff to look at
🤣 Gnome 2 was so usable. I wasn't a fan of KDE (3 at that point?) because it felt too complicated.
