Operating Systems (for personal use)

• Linux Mint - for beginners
• Arch Linux - for advanced users
• Note: I don’t recommend using Ubuntu due to the practices by its organization, Canonical.
• Note: Windows OS is not listed due to its extensive use of telemetry and general bloatware.
  • I would only install this on a VM (see below).

  • Note: AFAIK, this works best on a Linux machine.
