    Arch Linux is a very good distribution, but I would definitely not recommend it to the public at large.

    I think most people should probably use something like Fedora or Mint.

    For advanced users, either Arch, NixOS, or Gentoo.

      +1 for Mint. Super easy to use, a lot of config can be tweaked directly in the UI, and it has old style GNOME vibes without all the mad workflow that GNOME 3 forces upon you.

        I’ve begun my switch over to Mint from Windows. Its kinda wild to suggest normal users to switch to Arch of all things. Netflix (and streaming apps in general) straight to Jellyfin is also a stretch because there are… extra steps

          Yes, the Netflix -> Jellyfin conversion doesn’t make much sense.

          It would’ve made more sense if it was Plex -> Jellyfin. Because the extra steps are the same.

      I am loving Fedora KDE after using mint for ages. It feels like a nice blend of macos and windows but with real control. It’s very nice on a laptop. And I would love to have Kwin on every computer I use

        I used Kubuntu, and it really, fucking, sucks.

        You instantly are forced to have an outdated package manager, that you are blocked from updating.
