Nostr Web Client

Since I bought a new laptop, I'll need to install linux on it. (I may not bother installing windows on it at all.)

I have used Linux Mint and Pop!_OS (The dumbest OS moniker ever, IMO). Pop has been wearing thin. Mint was stable but not exactly . . . cool? Inspiring? And also just another debian fork.

If you were to recommend to me a flavor of linux, what would it be? I am NOT a dev, I don't game, and I mostly just complain on nostr, surf, and use freecad on occasion. I would like to eventually be able to run more local nostr stuff. I do not need to do anything too heavy with graphics of compute as I will never run an LLM on the laptop directly. If my T420 wasn't literally falling apart and costing more to fix than a new used laptop, I would be totally fine with it forever.

So . . . Whatcha got?

I was a windows user, no computer at the moment.

When I do end up building a new PC or buy a laptop I want to use Linux.

I'll check back later to read the replies.

The most intense game I'd be interested in playing is Minecraft afterwise my requirements are pretty much the same, user friendliness or ease of learning has always been my issue with Linux, never really had enough exposure.

But I'd like to start learning now.

You might be interested in luanti, the nostr of Minecrafts. Nobody can be banned from multiplayer because it's an open source self hostable protocol

Very cool. I don't even play Minecraft . . . LOL!

I have been daily driving Linux for 9 months on my laptop. And I would argue that the user friendliness and ease of learning is on par or even better on Linux than on Windows.

I use Fedora with GNOME.
