dont start with nixos. it is not friendly. Ubuntu is probably the best/easiest starter distro. that or fedora. go with the most mainstream so you have the least friction. Later you will be trying all the distros for fun.

I didnt know about this channel, but i found it an enjoyable watch. thanks for the tip!
Ubuntu is a good starter distro. It is up to date and has the most documentation/examples on the web. It is the most likely to “just work”. Install it and test it out.
Buy the “Fiske Guide to Colleges”. It lists hundreds of colleges in the US. You can look up by major, location, price, etc.
It also discusses things like social life, acceptance rate, and amenities.
I have 3 kids that are in or went to college. This was indispensable.
