I have got a question for all the #tech people out there with experience regarding #hp and #Linux

#Windows11 is being rolled out and I probably will have to set up my Laptop again. Never used #Linux on a PC, so how about:

Do #Linux distributions support HP omen 17 (2019) ?

If so, which one would you recommend for chiefly MS Office use (64-bit Excel a must) ?

How difficult is a set-up for a non-IT pro who has always worked with Windows (but installed systems)?

    If you want to experiment with it you could try a live Linux USB. it just requires a spare USB drive and there’s no permanent changes.

    Try googling hardware compatibility.

    Ubuntu is the friendliest start, but there are many good options. The office tools are excellent, I’ve used them exclusively for years and years. Steam has excellent gaming options and runs many windows games just fine.
