moandip2008yEvery OS is difficult if you never used it. That's the same for macos, Linux and windows.

jjhiza2588y@Prans, what distro are you switching from exactly? If you want something powerful and flexible, but don't want to go all the way to Arch, I'd suggest Manjaro.

Your future self will thank you, that's what mine did 😄. Also, use mint, it's based on Ubuntu but more friendly.

Mint isnt good, it is... Too... STatic, ubuntu is something good... Try using the terminal, then, wake sure to get some good games on linux... Steam works behter than on win

J4s0n13358y@RazorSh4rk I started with debian. No issues till now ^^
Pretty stable or how many call it rock solid -
jjhiza2588yI really used to love Mint Cinnamon, primarily because it was better than Ubuntu proper, but also because I didn't have the comfort level to use Arch on a daily basis. Manjaro KDE pried me away from Mint though. It's better in every respect, and I couldn't be happier. To be fair, Manjaro got me away from Arch proper as well, since it offers the power and control of Arch, without the hassle of constant package maintenance.
I'm comfortable with Arch, but I don't have the time or inclination to fix code on my personal computer... I just want it to work. In my opinion, Manjaro is the perfect long-term distro. It does just enough hand-holding to make new Linux users comfortable, and offers enough power and control for advanced users. Honestly, my next step after Manjaro, will likely be Gentoo or even rolling my own distro, based on Arch. I really can't stress enough, just how impressed I've been with my Manjaro experience.

You prefer Ubuntu because mint is to static?
That is One argument I never heard before -
jjhiza2588y@Prans, I don't see why not. VM is a sandbox, so the Manjaro install shouldn't conflict with any of your Ubuntu stuff.
