Best Linux OS for my hardware?
Wed Jul 4, 2012 6:06:51 PMOkay, I'll admit it. I'm only Windows XP right now cause it works with my USB wireless adapter. 
However, once I get back high-speed internet at the end of August, I really want to switch back to Linux.
However, I don't want to go to Ubuntu as it seems that the latest version doesn't support my hardware (HP Pavilion m7480n) that well. So I'm looking for a distro that will work well with my hardware that's also easy to use for a person not that familiar with Linux.
Any suggestions will be gratefully considered. I use this rig for surfing the web, tracking finances, writing, light gaming (ie. RCT3 Gold or OpenTTD), and working on my websites. Paid distros are out, as I really don't want to have to pay for the next OS, unless it's for my gaming rig in the future.
