Ubuntu
A dependable everyday desktop
A sensible choice for email, documents, browsing, video calls and everyday administration. It is well supported, stable and easy to live with.
Desktop
A Linux desktop that fits the way you use a computer.
Linux comes in many different distributions: versions built around different needs and ways of working. The right choice depends on whether you need a calm everyday workstation, a modern productivity desktop, an older computer made useful again, or a computer ready for gaming.
Different uses, clear choices
Start with the person,
not the distribution.
Fedora
Modern tools for productive work
A good fit when you want a current, polished Linux desktop for focused work and are comfortable with regular updates. It suits people who value modern software and a clean workflow.
Bazzite
Gaming without the setup project
Built for playing games on Linux with much of the useful gaming setup already in place. A strong option for a gaming computer or someone who wants to play rather than tune drivers and tools.
More good options
There is more than
one good fit.
Linux Mint
A friendly second life for older hardware
A comfortable, familiar desktop that can make an older computer useful again for everyday work.
Debian
Reliable and uncomplicated
A conservative, dependable base when long-term stability matters more than having the newest version of every application.
openSUSE
A flexible desktop with strong tools
A solid option for people who want a well-managed Linux system with a choice between steady and newer software.
Arch Linux
For people who want to build their own setup
Very flexible and always current, but best suited to experienced users who enjoy learning and maintaining their computer.
What the setup includes
Moving over without starting from zero.
Most Linux distributions can be tried for free from a live USB, created from a downloaded ISO image. You can explore the desktop and check that the hardware works before installing anything or changing the computer.
I check the computer, bring over the files that matter, choose practical applications, and make everyday tasks feel familiar.
You receive a desktop you can use confidently, with clear access to your own files and accounts.
