How to get started with Linux?
I want to start using Linux because honestly Windows is making my laptop almost unusable. Out of the 4 GB of RAM it has, it usually consumes around 3.7 GB without doing practically anything, and the processor tends to stay at 90% or 100% constantly.
I know perfectly well that my hardware doesn't help much either lol. I have an HP 14-cf2xxx with an Intel Celeron N4020 and 4 GB of RAM. I'm not expecting miracles, I just want something lighter and more usable for everyday tasks.
I've been researching distributions on my own, but I still don't know which one would suit me best. I also saw that the Realtek RTL8723DE Wi-Fi chip supposedly causes quite a few problems on Linux, so that has me a bit hesitant.
I'm not a demanding user. I basically use the laptop to browse the Internet, watch videos, study, and occasionally play light games like Stardew Valley or Hollow Knight.
What distro would you recommend for a setup like this, and how problematic can the Wi-Fi situation be?
