However, Linux kernel 6.14 is yet another short-lived branch that will be supported for a couple of months, which means that it will probably reach end of life sometime in May 2025. If you’re looking for long-term support, you should use either Linux kernel 6.12 LTS or Linux kernel 6.6 LTS, both of which are supported until December 2026.

My tip would be to try a few distros before you settle on one. Ubuntu was it for me about seven years ago, but I used mint for a few years and am using MX with xfce now.

Also, sudo !! is pretty useful when you forget to sudo the previous command. It means “super user do the last command I just boneheadedly forgot to do that to”
