Switching Linux distributions becomes easier with experience, but newcomers often face confusion due to the overwhelming number of options—over 1,000 total. While many are niche and serve specialized systems, the core consideration for new users should be selecting a friendly desktop environment that resonates with them, especially one that feels familiar based on their prior operating system experiences. This approach can make the transition smoother and more enjoyable, especially when considering user interface aesthetics and funcionality.
Many distributions are so niche that you would never consider them, and some are built for servers, routers, and embedded systems.
The desktop environment is your window into Linux, so why would you want to make that window challenging to open, clean, and see through?
