  • You want something that just works out of the box.
  • Your focus is everyday tasks with some programming.
  • You prefer cutting-edge software, but the system itself can be stable.
  • You want a graphical installer and easy GUI management.
  • You like Cinnamon for a Windows-like UI.
  • You’re okay with either pre-installed software or minimal install.
  • You don’t mind if the distro itself has a smaller community as long as the parent distro is well-supported.

    I don’t get it either. I mean the distro at the end of the day really doesn’t matter. like ok, which way do you want to type a line in a terminal to download something. you want Debian, Arch, Fedora, Nix or Gentoo.

    People always suggest Mint and I don’t get why. I mean I could have Cagebreak or Herbstluftwm on Mint…is it still new user friendly? no? then it’s not the Distro it’s the DE.

    Throw Cinnamon or KDE Plasma on Arch with a Distro Manager GUI, boom now that’s new user friendly.

    It’s the DE that’s important, the Distro is whatever.
