Please help with distro decision

I have an older i7 circa 2009, 16 gigs ram, and a gtx1060 with an ssd for os. I'm thinking either Pop!_Os or Nobara? Idea's, what do yall think?

I guess it depends on what you want.

I'd go with something with a lot of support like Ubuntu if you're new to Linux.

That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.

For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.
