In doing some research into Linux, I could see that that the requirements of a non tech user who just wants a working computer are very different from a geek who wants to tweek things all day.
The best distro for a low tech newb like me looks to be Mint, but if I was a geek I might consider Debian.
Debian was founded in 1993 by Ian Murdock, and the name "Debian" was formed from the first name of his then-girlfriend (later ex-wife) Debra Lynn and his own first name.
Debian is the source code language that distros like Mint & Ubuntu are based on, & it's also a distro in itself, aimed at geeks and tech heads.
PS. After posting this recommendation I learned about the woketard leanings of Debian and that certainly puts me off using the distro, even if I was a geek. Maybe if I was a tranny I'd apply for one of their "diverse" scholarships, but I'm not a tranny, so if I was a geek I'd now do further research and testing, because I don't do woke.
