Ubuntu is the most well-known GNU/Linux distribution and is a very common choice among beginners. It's designed to be super user-friendly with a nice (but unique) user interface. Ubuntu (at our install events) comes in two versions: Ubuntu is the most well-known GNU/Linux distribution and is a very common choice among beginners. It's designed to be super user-friendly with a nice (but unique) user interface. At our instal events, we will only install Ubuntu 22.04, as this is both the newest version and an LTS (long term support).\par\smallskip
\begin{itemize} Note that if your laptop is a very recent model (less than, say, 8 Months), it is usually a better idea to install Fedora, as the drivers and kernel are newer and thus support your hardware better.
\item 20.04 LTS: This LTS (long-term support) version is what you should pick if you're unsure. The software on this version is very well tested, and thus has the best chance to run without any problems. However, some applications (and, importantly: the kernel) are a bit dated: It is possible that new laptops (say, newer than 1 year) will probably have some issues with some hardware.
\item 21.10: This non-LTS version released a few days ago, and has in general an updated user interface and newer software versions. It has been tested less, but works better for new hardware.
\end{itemize}
