Searching for a safe operating system to swap in instead of Windows 10. Just starting with Linux, so no idea which one to choose.

I would choose Mint if you're starting out.

The distinctions lie in the fact that Ubuntu forms the foundation for Linux Mint. Mint adapts the Ubuntu base and adds a distinct interface reminiscent of Windows functionality. From my perspective, it offers the most seamless shift from Windows 10 to Linux. Additionally, since Mint relies on Ubuntu, nearly all applications that function on Ubuntu should also operate on Linux Mint.

I usually run Ubuntu (dual boot), but for a regular daily Linux setup I’d choose Mint.

There are many helpful online tools and communities for Ubuntu. While other distributions may lack resources, Ubuntu stands out as one of the largest desktop Linux options.

Consider OpenBSD. Linux poses risks.

I'll check Manjaro. Ubuntu and Mint are solid distros but often release outdated software and drivers. Ubuntu was designed for stability, making it ideal for business use, though consumers might gain from more recent rolling releases. Mint is based on Ubuntu and possibly a Debian variant, but I haven't explored it. For a Windows-like experience, consider a distro with KDE. Ultimately, Linux is all about personal preference.

Ubuntu stands out, Mint offers stability, and Mint has gained valuable insights from numerous bug fixes. For instance, the lock screen freezing issue was recently resolved in the latest updates.
