Just use debian and skip the hopping between overly specific distros

Fedora?

Bee running Fedora for months. Love it on my gaming laptop.

Is debian a good choice for new users? I know it's used as a base for a lot of distros. But I've never used it. I assumed it was more technical and less user friendly.

Unless you have the latest, newest hardware, most things should work out of the box

Worst case scenario you may have to edit one file in /etc/apt/sources.list to enable some drivers and firmware

Dont let the internet scare you with stories about how only L337 hax0rs can use debian. Its really easy

Using a distro that isn't a rolling release for a desktop is absolutely stupid

  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
