What linux OS should I use?
Recently I got a really old laptop (it was running win 7) and I installed windows 10 on it. The product key didn't transfer over from win 7, so I can't activate it. A big thing for me is customization, so not having a key isn't really an option. Before you mention anything about buying a new key, I'll just say I'm plain broke. Anyway, I was looking at a different OS to use and I think I'm set on Linux. I just can't really decide on which to use. Based on what reddit has told me, I'm leaning towards Mint, Fedora, and Ubuntu. (If you have a different one, be my guest.) I plan on being a casual user for now bc I'm a total noob when it comes to terminal and I don't want to have to freshly reinstall Linux or anything every time I mess with something. The features I'm looking for are: lightweight, customizable, more for casual users, maybe gaming.

oh man
for a casual power user who really likes customization, fedora is probably your easiest bet
but the underlying OS doesn't matter it's the desktop environment you're looking for
but to keep it simple stupid, fedora
or macOS if you wanna go that route
I'd suggest MX Linux
It can run on literally anything
Great for pretty much anything imo
Alr thx
