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.

OP's a long time Mac user. I don't think he will have issues with gnome. Hell he might find it more familiar than kde

Yep, as a Mac user for 34 years, KDE is too Windows-like and Gnome felt pretty similar to Mac.

Oh, in that case, absolutely.
