|
A distro, which is short for distribution, is an assortment of Software that makes up a whole Linux-based operating system. It consists of various components, such as a User Interface (which is what you see on screen), called a Desktop Environment, Software Repositories (which is where you get software from) and some pre-installed applications

# Choosing a distribution
|
|
There are many excellent distributions out there, some are more geared towards experienced users, whilst others are designed to make it as easy for you as possible to get started. I always recommend [Pop!_OS](https://pop.system76.com) from System76, [Linux Mint](https://linuxmint.com), [EndeavourOS](https://endeavouros.com) or [TuxedoOS](https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/TUXEDO-OS_1.tuxedo).
