If you are new to Linux it can be a daunting task to sort through all of the various Linux distributions; deciding between one or another is challenging and we would like to help. Below you will find a template that you can use to make a post in the Linux forum asking other users the question "What distribution should I use?". Each question will help us narrow down which distributions(s) would suit you best.
Please post specs (CPU, RAM, HDD/SSD). Please run Speccy if you are still running Windows and post a snapshot, as this is an easy way to show us your computer's specifications.
What do you do with this PC? Do you just surf the net, some email, watch a few movies or do you play games, and use virtual-machines?
Do you want a distribution that's easy to configure or do you want something a little more challenging?
Do you want a distribution for which there is a decent amount of help out there in terms of forum support and tutorials, or do you prefer to research and work things out for yourself?
Do you want a distribution that looks more like Windows or are you okay with a different look?
Members who wish to reply to these threads with suggestions/help for the users using this template, remember to read and follow this topic here before you reply.
