Hi guys I was wondering what is the best Linux distro or version for my needs.

there's just so many I thought so I don't know which one to choose.
here is what I need since, I do know Linux is customizable to tailor fit the needs of the user so here goes:

*Must be lightweight
*Have support for the latest AMD boards video cards etc.
*Sharing support drivers for Wifi tools , blue tooth.
*Can play League of legends in it (I searched and many Linux users are doing it.)[The only game I play on PC]
*Must have a similar office application like MS office
*Has some photoshop and Video Editing software as well as recording music recording software audacity is fine.


Here are my possible canditates:
ReactOS - https://www.reactos.org/wiki/Welcome_to_the_ReactOS_Development_Wiki
Kubuntu - http://www.kubuntu.org/
Linux Mint - http://www.linuxmint.com/about.php
Lubuntu - http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=lubuntu
Xubuntu - http://xubuntu.org/
Steam OS - http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=steamos
Linuxconsole - http://www.linuxconsole.org/

Yup But I've read it's a windows XP or NT sub. basically the developers say you can run windows programs on it but it consumes less resources.

Just trying it out for League of legends actually Maybe dual boot :) Because I have some recording software for music I don't think is compatible for Linux anyways.

It's just so Light just wanted to give it a try.

Lubuntu is Ubuntu but with a lighter interface that will run better on lowerend/older hardware.

League Of Legends plays very well With Latest Ubuntu + WINE. But may require some additional configuration to get working smoothly under WINE. Unfortunately the developers have not released a native linux client!

LibreOffice is free open source office suite.

wifi can be tricky, especially if you happen to get a card that uses chips from a manufacturer that does not support linux. Reccomend you get a wifi card with Atheros or Intel chipset if possible. You can always get wifi cards (and other hardware) known to work with Linux from here:

BTW there is a wide array of free opensource linux recording software like, LMMS, Ardour, Audacity..

Hmmm... gaming is okay for linux if it is specifically made for it. Otherwise running it on wine is like running something on an emulator to run your graphical intensive program.

I'd rather take my spare PC install a good GPU + RAM on it, install PCSX2 with Angel linux and remove everything else and have myself a nice old PS2 system.
