If you're ready to leave Windows 11 behind, this is the distro for new Linux users


SDesk is a lightweight open-source alternative to Windows or MacOS that will look familiar to anyone who's used a computer.

Recently, I discovered one such Arch-based Linux distro called SDesk, and there couldn't be a more clear use-case for it. On the top bar, there's the Workspaces button (far left), the time/date (which, when clicked opens notifications and calendar), and the system tray. It's also helpful that the distribution ships with most of the tools you'll need (the primary being a web browser and an office suite).
