Really. Most people just want their computer to do Internety things. Some officey things, and then show them a film.
If someone doesn’t get those pretty easy the first try they are going to head back to their corporate masters.
Honestly most of us really just need the same thing. I have run a number of different distros, and yeah Arch is really fun. The thing is I realized I just need the basics and I want free time. So I came full circle and went back to Mint. Is it one of the most vanilla flavors of Linux? Absolutely, but it usually just works and I appreciate that now in my life.
Amen. Even Arch shouldn’t be recommended to new, non-techie users. Much less stuff like NixOS, which has horrendous documentation.
As someone who uses Arch (btw) I would never recommend it for a beginner.
no u! 😢
