I'm thinking of switching to linux and I'm looking for a lighter weight easy starter distro. Any tips or recommendations?

I use and really like Fedora. But the documentation for the needed multimedia packages isn't good.

Ubuntu (also as basis for other distributions) is more widely used. So you can find more instructions for that.

I were able to use my Nvidia graphics card and steam on both of them. On Fedora the Nvidia driver is in the repository. So you don't need to download from the Nvidia package. Also my fingerprint sensor on my Lenovo T15 worked out of the box with Fedora.
