Today, I'm featuring a video from the ExplainingComputers YouTube channel called "Choosing Your First Linux Distro," presented by Christopher Barnatt. The video provides an overview of several Linux distributions that are well-suited for beginners.

This video is about the top recommended Linux operating systems for beginners. It provides a quick introduction to Linux and then lists several recommended distributions (or "distros") for new users, including Linux Mint, Zorin OS, Ubuntu, Debian, MX Linux, and Pop!_OS. The video also mentions two distros, Buzzite and Nabara, that are recommended specifically for gaming, and concludes with the speaker's personal recommendations.
The timing of this video is, in my opinion, very timely. Microsoft's free support for Windows 10 will officially end on October 14, 2025, which is just over two months away. This means millions of devices will soon be vulnerable to security threats if their users don't take action. While ChromeOS is often suggested as an alternative, there are several user-friendly Linux distributions that offer robust security and even more privacy, since they are not tied to a company like Google.
My Streaming Life involves using a variety of devices, so I have a lot of experience with the various platforms that are out there. Moving to a new operating system is a big change, but it can also be an opportunity to improve your digital security and privacy. The information in this video can help you explore some solid alternatives to a soon-to-be outdated operating system.
