  • Which is why I only recommend it when people need the bleeding edge for gaming stuff. It’s my recommendation if they need more than Mint and Bazzite doesn’t work well with their hardware. And even then, I try to avoid Bazzite since it does a lot of non-standard stuff with the setup.

    Arch is good if you already know what you want, but if someone needs the bleeding edge and don’t want to configure Arch, it’s the most straightforward route.


  • Well there’s your problem. But really, it’s because long-time distro hoppers will finally find the one that meets all their needs and assume it meets everyone else’s needs as well.

    About the only thing other than Mint that I recommend to beginners is Endeavor or Bazzite if they need gaming. And even then, is lean toward Endeavor first just because it’s less modified and they’ll get more consistent results during troubleshooting.

    But yeah, new users really don’t need anything other than the bare minimum otherwise they’re likely to get turned off pretty quickly by documentation not lining up to their distros edits.
