I just enjoyed the presentation and the amount of work that went into it. 🙂

    Doesn’t matter which distro you’ll pick. You’ll always pick the wrong one when you’re just starting

        The road continues on to Arch from there.

        Debian is becoming more and more viable as a desktop OS in the era of Flatpak and Distrobox. Trixie looks like a really nice release.

          Bookworm was, for me, the first one that installed fine for me. I love the philosophy of Debian but I might also like Arch - the bleeding edge is very attractive and I think I like AUR, however I need to understand how that works some more, before daring to do the jump.

    Recommending Manjaro for stability seems backwards to me, I have never had a distro break itself with updates as much as Manjaro

        @LandedGentry You can partition a thumb drive and install just as if it was a hard drive. I create thumb drives this way mainly for restoration of a system is something gets broken to where it can’t boot, kernel corrupted, initramfs, etc.

      I’m good. But thank you for the tip.

      Just posted the video, because I like that she’s quite balanced in her views. The subject matter will always trigger a level of controversy, esp. on lemmy. But the advice is pretty solid.

      And if Mint isn’t the answer, go with Ubuntu. Or Zorin OS. Or PopOS. All of them are “right” and provide excellent beginner experiences for many people.

    @original_reader Here I’ve got a mix of Ubuntu, Debian, Zorin, PopOS, Fedora, Alma, Rocky8, MxLinux, Mint,and Kali, but the primary work horse is Ubuntu.
