Hi! You may be sick of these posts by now, but I have been having a very hard time selecting between three distros; that being OpenSUSE, Fedora, and Linux Mint. I have tried linux in the past, I did debian with cinnamon and ran into some issues, so I ended up sheepishly reinstalling windows and getting AME10. I want to give it another shot though, and I have settled on one of these three. I am an absolute beginner to linux and i’m a g*mer (laugh it up), so out of these which would be better? I don’t have too many preferences, I guess I would like to avoid CLI’s as much as possible but it’s not too much of a big deal. I could get used to it and learn the commands. If you can give a bit of advice, that’d be great and I appreciate all of you! af-heart

      My experience with Tumbleweed was so weird - in the way that I never got to experience it properly. I was bummed with Nvidia drivers breaking after every new kernel update on Fedora, so I wanted to try something stable. This was around the time Leap came into existence. By the time Fedora was on GNOME 40, they were still on GNOME 3. There were a bunch of third party, non-vanilla apps, and I felt out of place. But that was just me trying out the live USB, and I thought to myself that I can make them Vanilla after I finish installing. Also, I didn’t care about the older GNOME version a lot. The biggest issue was me trying to install - the Tumbleweed installation never finished for me - I waited for more than three hours, thinking that maybe it has to do with a slow download speed. I tried using a bunch of other older release ISO, and it still had the same issue. I was tired of this, and went back to Fedora.
