This but new Linux users. They get attracted to the worse newbies distros every time

What’s the best one, apart from Mint?

Min- oh.

I don’t really know a bunch of distros, but I helped convert some normies so here’s a list of pain points I rather not have as a first experience

  • No rolling distro. While some people may never see an issue in their life, some may see it right away. Bad first impression (Someone insisted on starting on fedora, then noticed the hard way that the current Nvidia drivers were incompatible with the shipped kernel)
  • easy Nvidia driver install (only for gamers on Nvidia)
  • Has a gui app store
  • has a common package manager that is often shown in tutorials (like apt. You always see exemple apt commands)
  • sudo is configured (Sorry Debian)
  • doesn’t have a DE that tries to revolutionize UX

New users are dumb, so it needs to be easy for them

Sudo is configured in the Debian installer, if you click the “root not allowed to log in” checkbox. So it literally checks all your boxes.

Oh? Didn’t know about that. Thanks

Just checked, and sadly it’s not as straightforward as that.
Sudo is configured if you leave the password field blank for the root user.
Which is of course documented in the installation guide, but hardly anyone ever reads that.

RTFM I guess
