If you are a newby FOR GODS SAKE USE UBUNTU.

As an IT professional, I use Ubuntu LTS only because I don't want to spend my time tinkering around with the OS itself.

Basically, it's this comic:

All my hare-brained development ideas are more or less sandboxed in Docker containers. Rarely I need to schlep out to Sourceforge to get the right app for something. Most of the time there's an apt or flatpack thing for what I'm up to, but I do go on a spree purging all that from time to time.

My only complaint is with Nvidia driver support/quality/maintenance, but I get that's not Canonical's fault.
