   @curtisysmith For old PCs (I've tried a 2007 netbook; 2010 PC; and 2015 PC), either #Bodhi Linux or #Lubuntu. (Ubuntu and Debian released during those years will work as well.)

   For 2017 onwards PC, I personally tried #PopOS #Ubuntu #Debian (rolling), #PeppermintOS, and #LinuxMint. If you're a gamer, Pop!_OS is the best choice. It just works.

   Oh, all of those I mentioned above are DEB-based. There are also good options for RPM-based and Gentoo-based distros (ChromiumOS and ChromeOS are Gentoo-based).

     What's the best #Linux distribution for a relative newbie? I have a couple of Windows 7 machines I don't use and want to try another OS again.
     My level of experience - I can build a Windows machine from parts to bootup, but still can't remember how to right click on an iMac; I was a Computer Science major for a couple of years and have long forgotten knowledge of Fortran and assembler code; 20(?) years ago, I installed Mandrake and Red Hat, but within two weeks I'd make some mistake and render the install unbootable, wipe, reinstall, rinse, repeat.
