+
+Just a short review of linux distros that I've used/use
+
+If you are a beginner coming from Windows: use [Linux Mint](#linux-mint)
+
+# Ubuntu
+[Official website](https://ubuntu.com/)
+
+I don't like Ubuntu. It has a bad track record with privacy, which is one of the key reasons I use Linux, and it ships *snap* by default which no one else does (even distros that are based on Ubuntu)
+
+# Linux Mint
+[Official website](https://www.linuxmint.com/)
+
+If you are coming from windows, use it. Linux Mint comes with a windows-like desktop and almost everything you can do, you can do using a GUI interface, which is good for beginners.
+
+# Fedora Workstation
+[Official website](https://fedoraproject.org/)
+
+Fedora is a good distro for beginners. It's easy to set up, use, it is stable and popular, so you a likely to get support. It also comest with a popular desktop (GNOME on Wayland) which most applications are build for.
+
+# Arch Linux
+[Official website](https://archlinux.org/)
+
+I you are a beginner **don't** use Arch. It is not meant for beginners. I used this distro for a long time, and it's good. It has the AUR with all it's software, and I can set up everything myself (which I like), but now I have a high resolution monitor, along with a fullhd one, so I need wayland to use them at the same time, but when I tried to install it on arch, it just broke, and I have no idea how to fix it, so I decided to try Debian
+
+# Debian
+[Official website](https://www.debian.org/)
+
+Debian is good, stable and easy to use, but it doesn't have much software (After using Arch with the AUR, every distro for me now has too little software)
+
+# Manjaro
+[Official website](https://manjaro.org/)
+
+Manjaro is good. It is based on Arch (so it has the AUR) and it's easy to install, I you want as much software as possible, use Manjaro
+
+# NixOS
+[Official website](https://nixos.org/)
+
+NixOS is a really good choice if you reinastall OSs a lot. For me the problem was, that home-manager made all config files that it controlled read-only, but overall it's a pretty solid distro with a large repository of software (almost like the AUR)
+
+# Blend OS
+[Official website](https://blendos.co/)
+
+The idea is good, but the implemintation is not perfect. I used this distro a long time ago, so probably everything changed, but still, if you want an immutable distro use [Fedora Silverblue](https://fedoraproject.org/silverblue/) or [Vannila OS](https://vanillaos.org/) (I haven't used them myself, but I heard good things about them)
+
+# Kali Linux
+[Official website](https://www.kali.org/)
+
+Don't use Kali Linux as a daily driver. Just. Don't. Only use Kali for Penetration Testing, Security Research, etc.
+
+# Qubes
+[Official website](https://www.qubes-os.org/)
+
+This OS is built for security. I used it for a while, but the performance drop was too much. But I still have it installed on my PC (just in case)
