Agreed 8 gave me a headache but 8.1 was probably my favorite. Oh well at least we still have Linux, about to switch, is Fedora a good place to start?
yes. being on fedora for last five years, no complaints whatsoever, but i did ditch the nvidia for amd to spare myself the neverending story of nvidia and linux.
That won't be an issue I'm already on a 6950 XT, it's in all my AMD system so I think I should be okay device compatibility wise.
Fedora is good for servers and corporate environments, Mint is good for a familiar desktop, Ubuntu is good for mac users.
Fedora is a great first distro! I do recommend looking at the GNOME ui, as it's what Fedora (and vanilla Ubuntu) use; I really like GNOME but it's not for everyone as it's pretty opinionated and innovative. Linux Mint is another popular choice for newcomers, it uses a very simple UI that will be very familiar to any Windows user.
