    You have to realize just how alien that sounds to anyone unfamiliar with the Linux ecosystem.

    I was vaguely familiar with different distros, and how it’s basically the Lego of operating systems, from tinkering around with it twenty years ago.

    It was funny asking for recommendations and getting everything from Mint to Arch.

    For someone else who had absolutely no idea, and who’d only ever used Windows, it would absolutely be a project.

      You can pretty much just install Mint or Pop OS and go. There are a lot of options (I would argue too many) but you can ignore most of them as a beginning user. No one should recommend arch to a beginner and anyone who does should be shot.

      Also are you on a mastodon instance or something?
