Kyle Rankin<p>Here are a few tips I passed along to this new Linux user, based on over 20 years of experience both as a Linux user and writer:</p><p>* The best distro *for you* isn't the one I/we prefer, but the one you get support on--either choose one w/ formal support or what your friend uses.</p><p>* Hardware support is important, pick a model known to be supported well (if new: Framework, on a budget: used Thinkpads). If new, ideally pick one w/ a distro supported by the vendor. 1/x</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.kylerank.in/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.kylerank.in/tags/LinuxTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxTips</span></a></p>
