Linux distributions for beginners in 2024: Expert tested and reviewed
I’ve seen Raycast adjacent apps for Linux, but I don’t know what the current go-to all the kids are using these days. I used Quicksilver on OS X back in the day, which kind of defined the category I think. But these days I try to keep it simple.
Elementary OS seems to be trying to solve for the design issue, but it’s not as polished as macOS and there are still all the 3rd party apps to contend with. I’ve tried it, and it didn’t have me considering a full time switch.
https://elementary.io/
For me, one of the big things keeping me on macOS is the sync between devices. 20 years ago it seemed much easier to move to Linux, because I didn’t have to worry about my contacts, calendar, etc being in sync everywhere. Having all that stuff, and the handoff between devices, just work is a huge benefit. There are probably ways to sync various things between iOS and Linux, but then researching all the options, setting it up, and keeping up on it all, becomes a hobby. That’s not a hobby I want at this stage of my life.

Linux Lite: Easy to Use Free Linux Operating System
I thought ElementaryOS was dead due to infighting between the two cofounders, but it still seems to be going: https://elementary.io/
(I installed it on one box a few years ago and liked it, but moved back to Ubuntu once I learned about its conflict in the team.)

How many of you are still using mullvad?
But get an old laptop, download and install on it https://elementary.io/, or PopOS or Debian (they all resemble macOS) or whatever distro you like the most. And start tinkering.

What Linux Distro Should I Use For Terrible Laptops?
My experience has been that Ubuntu's Gnome DE is somewhat less suitable to older computers than Ubuntu "official flavors" with lighter DE's -- Ubuntu Budgie (Budgie DE), Kubuntu (KDE Plasma DE), Ubuntu MATE (MATE DE), and Xubuntu (XFCE DE) -- all of which use somewhat less resources than the Gnome DE.

YSK: Windows 11 sends telemetry data straight to third parties on install.
If you were a fan of Windows 7 - install Ubuntu Budgie. I have been running it since Windows 7 and it is rock solid.

Linux distro
I recommend two official Ubuntu flavors to friends contemplating migrating from Windows 10 to Linux -- Ubuntu Budgie (Budgie DE) and Kubuntu (KDE Plasma DE).

I might want to switch to linux on my low end laptop and have a few questions
In terms of distros that will help facilitate the migration from Windows, I would suggest either Ubuntu Budgie or Kubuntu.

switching from windows, need recommendations
Take a look at Ubuntu Budgie 22.04 LTS and Kubuntu 22.04 LTS, two official flavors of Ubuntu that give you the stability of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and a good looking, very functional desktop environment. I have used both extensively and can vouch for them. My use case is similar to yours -- lots of internet/browser work, occasional word processing, spreadsheet and file work.
-
Change from Windows
Consider looking at several of the Ubuntu official flavors -- Kubuntu (Plasma DE), Ubuntu Budgie (Budgie DE), Xubuntu (XFCE), Ubuntu MATE (MATE DE). I wouldn't bother with Lubuntu (LXQT DE) unless you need a lightweight distro, because the LXQT DE is not as mainstream or well-supported as the others.
