            <h1>Recommended OSes</h1>
            <p>
                There are countless choices when it comes to alternatives to Windows. Here are my personal
                recommendations to help you avoid decision paralysis if you decide to do it yourself.
            </p>
            <h2>Beginner Friendly</h2>
            <p>
                I believe these make the most sense for anyone looking for a general purpose OS.
                Beginner friendly distros should have a simple app store and actively encourage users to keep the system
                up-to-date.

                <li><a href="https://www.linuxmint.com/">Linux Mint, Cinnamon Edition</a></li>
                <li><a href="https://manjaro.org/">Manjaro with KDE Plasma</a></li>
                <li><a href="https://chromeos.google/products/chromeos-flex/">ChromeOS Flex</a></li>
            </ul>
            </p>
            <h2>Advanced Users</h2>
            <p>These are my picks for those who aren't afraid of using or learning the command line.</p>
            <p>
            <ul>
                <li><a href="https://fedoraproject.org/">Fedora Linux</a></li>
                <li><a href="https://endeavouros.com/">EndeavourOS</a></li>
            </ul>
            </p>
            <h2>Gaming Focused</h2>
            <p>
                For gaming-focused PC's, of course most general purpose distros will do. However, there are a couple
                options worth your consideration.
            </p>
            <p>
                If you want an experience similar to SteamOS on the Steam Deck, Bazzite has you covered.
            </p>
            <p>
                CachyOS is a distro based on Arch that specializes in optimizing for speed.
