Hello! I'm looking for a Linux distribution that can act as a dedicated HTPC and let me easily switch to ALSA for audio while still supporting a standard PC setup. I want something straightforward, not just a Kodi-based distro.

To the best of my understanding, most Linux distributions and their users emphasize avoiding copying Windows, which might account for the limited adoption of the OS when introducing newcomers to a different platform. This preference also applies to users who seek a seamless, familiar experience—something that feels natural rather than unfamiliar. The only one I’m aware of is Zorin, after which things become quite varied in terms of similarities.

Zorin often imitates the look and feel of Windows XP and 7. For a fresh experience, consider Kubuntu. Also, check out audio pass-through options, as I’m new to that setup.

Linux isn't designed to supersede Windows.
