Distro hopped for years and stopped for Windows this year. With proton out, I want to make the full switch again. Thing is, I'm unsure what distro. I used to be an Arch+i3 guy, but that was time consuming, polybar never fucking worked right, and took forever to look nice. Have a decent PC now and want something faster than Windows 10 but looks pretty cozy from the start. Likely gonna try out the latest ubuntu first, but have any recommendations to save me time?
Ubuntu LTS for desktops and laptops, Debian for servers. Too much software and ppas available for Ubuntu distros to disregard it. For servers, Debian stable is so stable and efficient that it excels in that role.
Not him (different game dev) but game design is an art and a literary medium and it has the potential to change the world and motivate large scale cultural movements

desu though, if you settled on windows, youre probably going to go back to it because you sound like a weak wet noodle with no resolve. You'll go back to Windows as soon as your favorite binbingwahoo! toy doesnt work or youre missing a frivilous software. proton / wine+dxvk is nice but not everything works for it yet. considering you posted a vidya pic and something for switch, id assume youre a low-t onions child who will bend back over for microsoft as soon as the latest game isnt supported on Linux. just stick to windows, child.
Ubuntu MATE, is a flavor of Ubuntu that looks pretty decent from the start, so does Linux Mint too. If by any chance you want to tinker a bit go for Devuan and rice it.
