Message: [QUOTE="diapered, post: 194817, member: 143752"] Nowadays, everything you could need for school should work in a browser, you shouldn't need to install a windows/mac program locally on your device; that would be the only issue. For example, if your school wants you to install office locally, just use google sheets/docs etc. Something like zoom for class could be an issue, but a lot of microsoft apps like zoom and teams work perfect with the chromium (un-gooogled chrome) browser, so keep that tip in mind! After all, edge is based on chromium now... I use chromium browser for my work stuff, and firefox for everything else. Just for a general distro? Mint is fine, and I guess the gold standard for newbies, but I recommend Manjaro as well for beginners. If mint gives you frustration, don't let that make you give up on linux. Try mint first, but then also make a manjaro live usb to try; I think manjaro is more welcoming with its very simple and clean software center (pamac) and they curate the available packages for the distro. It's limiting in that regard, but pretty much anything in the base manjaro repository is going to work with no hassle at all, at least in my experience when I used it... Don't just go with one distro at the start, it's part of the fun ^_^ [/QUOTE]
