Hello guys i have a qustion about which distro i should use?

I want to dual boot windows and linux

I just want a safe place away from microsoft eyes to do edit and drawing and other hobbies on my pc. And playing some games like cs2 & 2d games Also the distro run my wallpaper engine Should be popular distro so if i have a problem i can ask about it

Please dont tell me linux mint because i tried it 3 times and everytime i do anything simple the distro goes off and i should re install i won't give it anymore chances thank you 😖

Edit: thank you guys for typing your suggests. after some search i will give bazzite try and if won't work like i want. I will go with the other suggests I really enjoyed reading all your suggests

Chances are that, if you do break something, it'll be on the Windows side.

Bazzite is very solid for new users as it's very convoluted to access and modify anything system related.

Having said that, if you have any intention to learn how to use Linux distros, and eventually remove Microsoft from your life, immutable distros like Bazzite will limit you dramatically, so I suggest you start with a regular "mutable" distro. Now, if your intention is just to have something that works, scape Windows every now and then, and come back to Windows, it's hard to beat an immutable distro.

    I'm pretty sure you can also advance with Bazzite. I haven't done anything too advanced, but I can imagine one can learn a lot simply by learning the ujust commands as they would apt.

    Absolutely. Maybe I'm a bit biased. I can't stick to anything immutable (other than my Steam Deck, and believe me, I've tried many times), and always come back to distros I can have absolute control over.

    However, I have all my employees running Silverblue (mostly because none of them even know what CLI means 🤣).
