I tried so many distros in the last decade, but I recently had to start with a fresh setup again and I went with Linux Mint. I think it's the most underestimated workhorse you can get. Everything just works, tons of help online if you need it and instead of tweaking it forever you just get work done.
I don't think anyone underestimates Linux Mint. It's pretty widely considered one of the best distros out there.
Those of us who choose Arch do so for the software selection, and because we like tweaking the os :)
I totally get that and I used to do the same. Maybe this community is different but on some online communities people kind of looked down on mint and pretended it was only a beginner distro.
Linux mint is so good. I used it for a long while. It is a nearly perfect OS

Ngl that's where I've learned about archinstall
me who uses Void Linux 😌 and don't care about SystemD
The first time I installed Arch there was the old archinstall that was subsequently retired. Is the new script working?
I love arch but I actually haven't used it since before they added the arch install. I can't imagine how much easier it is cause it's still the terminal. The "manual" install was easy as hell
It's much easier. Just make some choices and it installs. Honestly can't call it the terminal if it lets me choose options with arrow keys.
Hint: :q!
