I found an independent Linux distro that's easy to install - and comes with everything I need

OpenMamba is a Linux distribution that's gaining traction as a strong alternative to Windows. Unlike many distros based on Debian, Fedora, or Arch, OpenMamba offers an independent experience with features like RPM package management, Flatpak support, and rolling updates. It's available for multiple architectures and caters to both newbies and experts. The installation is user-friendly, even easier than Ubuntu's, and it comes preloaded with tools like LibreOffice and Firefox. While performance might vary when run as a virtual machine, OpenMamba delivers a smooth experience on an actual install, making it a great choice for those seeking something beyond the traditional distro options.
