@frameworkcomputer @thomy2000 Fedora is fine, but Red Hat still leaves a bad taste in my mouth more than 20 years after Red Hat Linux 9.0.

Ubuntu has its own issues (does anyone LIKE snaps?), but I find more comfort in the Debian universe. Debian 12 rocks, so I have hope for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

Why not just use Debian 12?

@khleedril @frameworkcomputer @thomy2000 I DO use Debian 12, but I recommend Ubuntu LTS for newbies, because the install process is tight, and Ubuntu is well understood and written about.

Getting past the install on older hardware is still a stumbling block Debian 12 suffers. I've was a UNIX admin before Linux even existed, so I can deal with missing drivers for older hardware, but newbies coming from the windows world tend to just think "this sucks" and give up.
