Best distro to start with (self.linux4noobs)

Hi!

I’m a long time Mac user, but I want to set up a laptop or mini desktop (something not too old but powerful enough for image editing, really just for photography workflow), and try a Linux distro with FOSS tools for this purpose. I’m done with Adobe.

I’d like to scale one day to having a NAS of some kind.

I’ve experimented with Ubuntu before but it felt a little noddy, I just didn’t like it. Any recommendations? I’d like something with a decent community that would tolerate my noob questions.

Many thanks.

I’ve heard about Mint and it seems to have a good rep. My tech lead at work recommends it. I’ll look into all of these.

Dummy question but, I assume the commands/syntax across Mac terminal and whatever the bash/shell equivalent are similar/same?

I don't know anything about Mac, but hopefully someone else can provide a helpful response.

Fairly close. Basic operation will still be the same, there may be specific commands that don’t work, but in most places they’re called out
