Support for Windows 10 is ending next month, making it a great time to switch to Linux! There's no need to throw away your old computer. If you primarily use your machine for social media, shopping, or online banking, you can save money and help the environment.

Which distribution would you recommend? Mint or Ubuntu?

PS: For older computers, a lighter weight distribution might be a better choice so ch as Linux Mint XFCE or Lubuntu.

@nixCraft NOTE: Ubuntu has corporate meddling from Canonical, and Linux Mint has transphobes on the team. Maybe try starting with Fedora.
@indigoviolet @nixCraft got a source for the Mint thing? This is the first I'm hearing of it...
