This but new Linux users. They get attracted to the worse newbies distros every time
What’s the best one, apart from Mint?

The typical advice is:

  • Mint
  • ElementryOS
  • Fedora
  • Pop!
  • Ubuntu (unpopular with Extremely Online people, but is pretty good at the Just Works for normies)
As usual OpenSuSE gets totally forgotten. Tumbleweed is 5the most stable rolling release I’ve ever seen.
Oh yeah! I’ve always heard good things about OpenSuSE, just never tried it. Maybe I’ll give it a whirl on my other old laptop.
