Looking to dip my toes into Linux for the first time. I have a 2016 Intel MacBook Pro with pretty solid specs collecting dust right now that I think I’m going to use. Research so far has indicated to me that the two best options for me are likely Mint or Elementary OS. Does anyone have any insight? Also open to other OS’s. I would consider myself decently tech savvy but I am not a programmer or anything. Comfortable dipping into the terminal when the need arises and all that.

    Arch is not a beginner OS.

    OP: give Mint or PoPOS a try or start off directly with Debian stable. As far as driver issues go, make sure to enable the non-free and non-free-firmware for newer Debian versions and you should be okay.
