Hello everyone,
While looking for some information about Linux distro I have discovered this forum.
After a long time not using Linux, I have just decided to get at it again, I remember the first time I used it I was 13 years old, back in the time where you could order a free Ubuntu CD Live from their website (free shipping). Since that time I have felt in love with its simplicity and its GUI, I didn’t know how to use it though but still managed to learn somethings on my free time. I stopped using it, but when I was in high-school we did use it to learn how to set up networks, the things I had learnt before were very useful. Anyway, after choosing to study economics in college I somehow let-down my passion of informatics.
But this month, I have decided to get back at it and really learn how to use Linux properly (also I am learning Python for quite a while now), however I am a bit stuck on which distro to choose and also which one is more suitable for my needs* and as well as my computer (Asus UX480F).
I have installed Kali (Kali rolling 2019.4) this week, I had so many problems installing it (dual boot w/ Windows 10), it couldn’t detect my SSD nor my unallocated partition, after figuring out how to install it, it froze on the login screen, now I am having issues with the touchpad working 2/5 times, etc. It’s a bit difficult I have to admit it, but still even though... Why would I give up on such an awesome OS?
