Linux@lemmy.ml•Handled a ThinkPad today. What distro should I go with? Ubuntu? Arch?
25·9 months agoDepends on what you’re looking for. I’m guessing you’re more of neophyte to Linux or you probably wouldn’t be asking.
I always recommend Linux Mint to newbies. It’s very user friendly (more so than windows 11 imo), and it’s a spin off of Ubuntu, so it’s got great support behind it.
Ubuntu itself is a spin off of a distro called Debian, so if you ever have problems with Linux Mint and you can’t find an answer on the very helpful Linux Mint forums, you could always search for your answer on Ubuntu’s forums, or Debian’s.
Arch based distros are better for newer hardware because it’s bleeding edge, but that laptop looks so old that you probably wouldn’t need anything like that.

It is definitely toxic to humans if this meat is consumed.
