You'll be seeing me more and more :) Anyway, I've decided to go with Manjaro KDE to replace Win10. What do you recommend I do once it's installed and ready to go? I'd like any tips and pointers for beginners, such as customizing my desktop and updating/installing drivers. Also your favorite WMs...

Before my PC became a skinny metal brick, I had virtualbox with manjaro and templeOS installed. I had partitioned (I think I’m using the right term) 20gb of storage and 2gb for manjaro, and 1gb each for templeOS. I did a system restore to before that point, but that’s what ended up bricking my...

I’ve heard that kubuntu (specifically kde neon) has good touch screen support, so if I decide to go with ubuntu, it’ll be with the k. The other option I’m considering the most is manjaro mate or gnome, both if possible, though I don’t know how to do that.

How can I recover the files, or is it very self explanatory when I get there?

It does, thanks :) How well does other DEs such as KDE or MATE work with touch screens?

My windows 10 pc is bricked and I want to switch to linux, but how can I recover my old files using linux beforehand? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Thank you all for the kind responses :) Why is not including MATE a grave mistake, and how would I run it alongside gnome? Another thing is I tried manjaro gnome 3 on a vm before and didn’t like the look of it. How could I make it look more like a traditional desktop? I will definitely try...

I considered linux a while ago but didn’t go through with it because windows 10 was just fine for me. Now win10 has royally screwed me over and my PC is a brick that can’t even factory reset, so I could use help picking the right distro. My PC is an Asus Zenbook Flip UX360CA, specs listed...

The link says file not found?

Many thanks. I assume I’ll be able to test it first. Do you know if there’s a manjaro download under 2gb as well?

Thanks a lot. Do you think Majaro or Mint would work well with my PC?

I've noticed that in all of the tutorials for installing Linux, a CD or USB drive is used. I only have a 2gb USB stick, and I'm not sure if that will be big enough for Mint 19. Will a 2gb stick suffice, or is there another way that doesn't require it?

I'm a complete beginner to Linux and don't know much about commands. I'm thinking of dual booting if I can clear enough hard drive space or using Linux entirely. Below are my PC's specs. My PC is a 2 in 1 so one that takes advantage of a touch screen would be nice. I'll probably try running...
