#physics sorryfor the noob question but can people please recommend a good undergraduate level physics text, ideally one where I can find a pdf.
I'm an ex software engineer with a good A level maths background and I'd like to read up on physics as a hobby.
I have no intention of getting formal qualifications so I don't need a set text from any particular Uni - I'm just looking for a good text for interest. I'm currently working through an old Feynman textbook, which is great but probably dated.

#linux I'm intending to update my laptop to a new distro.
I've used Linux for a long time (started with Mandrake) but I've been using Ubuntu for some years with its default UI as I was focused on other priorities and didn't want to spend time tinkering.
While Ubuntu is still working for me, I have an urge to try something else. I see Debian with xfce mentioned - how is that regarded? I just want a 'daily driver' without any specialist needs.
Thanks in advance for suggestions 😃
