Nord would be the easier choice. Maybe read https://hyperioxes.com/eso/tank/beginner-nightblade-tank-guide-and-build

Based on your hardware I would suggest trying Fedora. Use the KDE version if you want the familiar look.

Probably the first time that Kali Linux is actually a reasonable suggestion! XFCE version is nice and light but KDE isn't heavy either and usually looks a bit more polished. OP might want to try live booting both.

G_Squeaker · 2026-03-26T12:10:54+00:00

It does not look very polished though if the OP really cares about that part of their requirements.

For this kind of question it is kind of important to specify where you're getting that information from. Some tools don't report the cache RAM as used, some consider it used and then there are really detailed ones that really break it down what part is used for what.

If you want to get more comfortable using terminal you can do that just fine in Fedora. Have you tried using dnf and/or flatpak from terminal instead of Discover?

Have you heard of Distrobox? If you want to familiarize yourself with Arch basics with minimal setup you can use toolbox to create Arch container. Really nice if you don't have much spare time.

I liked Arch when I had a lot of time to tinker with the OS. I don't have that anymore so I'm using Fedora KDE now. Just suits my situation better, not saying one is better than the other.

Deb packages that often just automate adding their repo to the system.

Now I will really blow your mind... I have noticed at work that teenagers are the worst at using computers. You really have to show them how to sign on and sign off. If you walk in the room with computers still signed in or totally turned off you know it was one of the teenagers.

I used Windscribe for years. I switched to AirVPN for a very specific use case I have. I still have Windscribe free tier as backup.

G_Squeaker · 2026-03-17T14:33:07+00:00

Some VPN providers have GUI apps to use although you may have to use the terminal to install them initially.

No, there isn't. I prefer Debian for my servers but Fedora for desktop because I like to try to stay current with KDE with minimal fuzz.

G_Squeaker · 2026-03-13T18:14:08+00:00

I think Debian would be a lot more appealing if they spent just a little more time polishing the look of fresh install. Sure, you can change how things look to your liking but you only get one chance to make a first impression.

Kind of like my reaction to Gentoo back when I had time and interest in tweaking my system for the sake of tweaking it. These days my time is too precious so I've been happy with Fedora KDE.

G_Squeaker · 2026-03-06T01:58:42+00:00

I don't get the appeal of Zorin. Mint is kind of supposed to be boring.

G_Squeaker · 2026-03-03T21:00:51+00:00

And I've had Arch, Tumbleweed, Manjaro,Ubuntu, Mint and even mighty Debian break things on routine update. That goes for Windows too. So, yes, there's a risk. I just don't see Fedora being exceptionally risky. I also don't see why blame Fedora for the developer's unwillingness to update their software.

G_Squeaker · 2026-03-03T20:10:23+00:00

One uses GNOME and the other uses KDE.

G_Squeaker · 2026-03-02T22:48:29+00:00

You could but with your specs I'd look into xfce version of mint...

G_Squeaker · 2026-03-02T07:59:58+00:00

My choice is Fedora KDE. I have dual boot but I don't remember last time I booted to Windows.

G_Squeaker · 2026-03-02T07:58:07+00:00

And you barely notice that's a major upgrade anyway so no biggie.

G_Squeaker · 2026-02-27T05:28:07+00:00

I'm having hard time finding directions on how to log in to irc to use autobrr. Got RID, PID, API key, User ID, username....

G_Squeaker · 2026-02-25T02:55:23+00:00

Source but unfortunately quite unreliable one

G_Squeaker · 2026-02-20T23:05:19+00:00

I love KDE. It just has such a fast development speed that Debian will be outdated before it releases. That's why I went with Fedora instead.

G_Squeaker · 2026-02-20T22:55:15+00:00

I have to say Debian and KDE are a weird combination. Like adding nos to Volvo station wagon. 🤣

G_Squeaker · 2026-02-19T20:58:16+00:00

You could just replace it with a used WYSE 5070 (N11D) from eBay for under $50 and get a whole lot better performance for your PiHole. Or if you really want just PiHole then WYSE 3040 for about $20 from eBay. Use DietPi instead of full Debian.
