Hold off Microsoft! I got my girlfriend to try Linux because she like the bar on the side.


Exactly my case two years ago. After while of using Fedora she said "I though linux is more different."

She forgets on Win quickly and probably never go back.


I ended up picking Fedora too because I thought KDE Plasma and Fedora would be easy, stable, and up-to-date enough. There hasn't been much issue so far. I really wanted to go NixOS like I run to make it reproducible, but the casual user ergonomics would be too difficult. :(
