One “s” is all it took to make my day today

I wanna install Linux on my Desktop as main OS after years of windows, last time I tried desktop was Fedora and Ubuntu back in the late 00s, back then all I remember is playing around with Gnome and KDE and compiz…

Most of what I know about Linux distros today is from memes…

How can I quickly learn about the best distro for my needs, (general use, some development, and some gaming, easy hardware support). With a toddler and demanding job, I don’t have too much time to just experiment with different distros and draw my own conclusions.

Thanks in advance.
