Machine is a HP ENVY x360 Convertible 15-eu1xxx with the touch screen. Ryzen 7 5825U, touch screen 16gb RAM.

Top recommendation of within one hour of me posting this decides what distro I install. Please not Hannah Montana linux or even worse, Arch.

I leave the decision up to you.

Edit:

The winner was linux mint. I've downloaded the ISO and am installing now. I hope my boss doesn't get pissed.

I don’t think there’s a good reason these days. With ArchInstall, the process is as easy as other distros and then all you have to do is install a DE and you’re all set. Arch used to have a much higher barrier to entry; that just doesn’t exist anymore.

You can even install the DE from archinstall.

So their reasoning may have been a graphical installer? I also wanted that but since I used a tutorial to get arch installed and working on my raspberry pi, I didn't actually use a graphical installer and I didn't miss it.
