I'm not a techie, no good with computers, don't know any command line prompts, and fed up with Windows OS. I've been using a Chromebook for the past 3 years because I never needed any software. But over the past two months I've been learning Python on Sololearn. Now that I'm somewhat well versed I needed the hardware to download Python so I bought: Lenovo - 130-15AST - AMD A6 Series - 4 GB Memory - AMD Radeon R4 - 500 GB Hard Drive. The OS on this thing should not be lagging after only 5 hours of use; the windows bar and cortana search won't even work. So here I am hoping to switch to Linux and be done with Windows OS for good. Some basic questions:
Which Linux distribution do ya'll think can work best with the hardware I have on my Lenovo; from what I've read so far this probably won't be an issue. I'm thinking Mint.
Which Linux distribution would work best with Python, MySQL, SciPy, MatPlot, and Excel? I have no interest in gaming or video.
After I download the Linux OS can I uninstall/permanently delete Windows 10?
Thanks for your help.
P.S. I still love my Chromebook.
