I had a dream about windows and have decided to setup Linux on my laptop. What distro should I use?
I used Ubuntu once a few years ago but had compatability issues so I went back to windows. Not a great programmer but I'd like to learn. I'm not looking to do much gaming beyond DOOM2 and factorio. Mostly looking for privacy and a way to get back into programming (I have this pipe dream of learning Assembly). I'm not to particular on UI, I can use whatever.

Thanks!
You're welcome! I hope it was useful.
Dog I just told it I wanna game and have game Dev supported distro. Guess what? OpenSUSE, Zorin, and every flavor of Ubuntu. I was assuming it would tell me Fedora/Nobara, Ubuntu, and Debian Stable.
You can game on OpenSuse... never tried Zorin, and every flavor of Ubuntu is good for gaming (or has been in my experience 🤷 ).
I tried this for the hell of it and it suggested almost every distro I have ever tried, close enough to the order of how long I have used each. Didn't suggest kinoite and similar which I have some variant of on all my old people's computers and several of my own.
Weird, it's telling me to get OpenSuse and in never heard of it!
It's also a way to discover distros :) Depends on what you entered, but OpenSuse isn't a bad distro, that's for sure.
