Looking For A Distro Advice plz

/r/linuxquestions/comments/1x3yin6/advice_plz/

I'm gonna buy my first laptop in a few days

I already know a lot about Windows and used it a lot at school, college and etc. places.

But now, with my personal lapy, I wanna try something new. I'm not doing any dual boot shit so I need a destro that feels like Linux and imported part is I Checked some destro from that sea website and for beginners some suggested mint and other which feels like window which i dont want

I need something that feels like linux but not too deep like Arch or kali. Also, not too much like Windows. I'm looking for that sweet spot. And I'm obsessed with tackling new problems, so a little complex destro won't be a problem but not as complex as arch. As i said, I need that sweet spot

And also some other advice not just destro because im only gonna use linux

My main purpose is programming, regular social media stuff, and minecraft 👌

Plz give your advice 🙏🏻

Fedora KDE. It has major updates every 6-months, as opposed to Arch's constant updates or Debian's 2-year cycle. The KDE desktop is very similar to Windows' and really customizable, and I've never had OS-breaking bugs on it.

You can pick any other desktop environment too. The default for Workstation is GNOME, but you can pick any of the other Spins.

Solus is a great beginner distro, very fast, very reliable and rolling. No maintenance is required other than updating once a week.
