    I agree that arch is stupid for newbies. I was taking a poke at mint. I would never suggest that.

    Alma/Rocky is what CentOS used to be.

    You can install KDE on Ubuntu, but point taken on KDE (I’m not familiar with cinnamon).

    I suggested basically RHEL and Debian because, like you said they are stable and relatively easy to install.

    Snap is rather new to me as well. I have a recent LTS install of Ubuntu and I don’t use it. I doubt someone who’s new into Linux will touch it.

    My other big concern is systemd. If you’re not familiar with Linux, systemd is a nightmare when things go wrong. But, I suppose a newbie won’t care

      You think you don’t use it. Have firefox installed? All that apt install did was grab a wrapper for snap :( same for some other software.

        Instead of downvoting, here’s how I feel about that: =<

      GRUB was a nightmare for me when things went wrong (EndeavourOS / Arch). I think you can say that to a lot of critical Linux system components though. Mint is generally one of the more stable distros out there though and generally considered to be the better Ubuntu.
