Ubuntu

I installed Ubuntu 25.10 from scratch to see how it feels coming from Windows 11, and overall it ran surprisingly well. The best part is you get a lot of customization built in (dock position, icon sizing, dark mode) without immediately needing third-party tools.

Pros

+Straightforward interactive installation
+Built-in customization options (dock position, icon sizes, dark mode)
+App Center made installing Brave quick

Cons

-Desktop shortcuts are annoying due to permissions/trust prompts
-Some Windows apps I use (like Affinity) aren’t natively supported on Linux
