Hi everyone! I've been working in ML for a while now and I'm breaking into OpenAI's Spinning Up series and I figure it's time for me to get a dual boot with Linux up and running. I can't get docker to stop giving me a memory leak with WSL 2 and frankly using it as a workaround doesn't make that much sense when I am fairly comfortable with IT / the command line. I was curious if anyone had any recommendations for distros and maybe a good bootloader to get started with. The one thing I'm a bit worried about is I have this random FiiO DAC that has shitty drivers even on Windows but I suppose not being able to use that wouldn't be a huge deal anyway as I won't be using this as my daily driver quite yet.

Honestly any distro will be fine for this, but if you're new to Linux except for WSL, Ubuntu might be a good choice.

just go with any popular distro, being a beginner I would say Linux Mint.

Ubuntu LTS - because it is often the best tested in these use cases. As for bootloader - the default GRUB is fine.
