Software Windows 11 Home
I have used the MacOS at the office, Windows 11 at home, and have used Linux decades ago.
Now I have some PCs that don't support Windows 11, so it makes sense to think about
running those on Linux. I have a Core 2 Quad with 16 GB DDR3 and a small SATA SSD.

Which flavor might be best if I want a Mac/Windows like experience and am not interested
in gaming?
  • Linux Mint
  • Ubuntu
  • Debian
  • Other?
I even tried installing Raspberry Pi Desktop, but that is just 32 bit and out of date.

I'm after ease of use and installation while Windows 11 will remain my main OS.
