Like the title says I want to install a Linux distro on my old laptop. I am currently looking into installing a SSD, but I want to learn a distro for fun! I haven’t been able to find a good current resource aside from the Linux Masters here, so I am actually asking for help on the Internet! What distro is the best!?

    Objectives of learning and fun?

    You do not state noobliness, ease of setup or time to install, number of failures/retries or anything like that.

    **EDIT: you did state noobliness later on in comments so . . . i’d go stock debian +lxqt. ****

    or all that I’d recommend arch. Do not use archinstall script , that reduces both learning and fun. Resource? follow the archwiki and go through lots of linked pages at each step. If you do wuss out and install stock debian (+lxqt)

    maybe partition off a spare 10-20GB so you can play around with an arch install after you realise how boring and uneducational the others are (joke)
