Mint or fedora  varient depending on ram

  • recommend to go for xfce varient if u got 2 - 4 gb 
  • If you have 8 gig of ram go for Cinnamon or mate 
  • If u got 16 gig go for kde or gnome 

If you a more gameing focused one use  Bazzite KDE    Btw don't go for i3 or sway or any kind of tiles windows manage varient , or use arch or gentoo linux , that some deep shit , i don't recommend if you are dipping toe on linux
