hey nerds, I’m getting myself a new personal laptop as a treat, but I very much do not want windows 11 shitting it up. Is there a linux distro with caveman-compatible instructions for installation and use? I want to think about my OS as little as possible while actually using it.
I’ve got one friend who uses mint, but I’ve also seen memes dunking on it so who knows. I actually really only know what I’ve seen from you all shitposting in other communities
I can’t disagree with mint being a good distribution, because it is.
I personally think for someone just starting out in Linux that an immutable distribution like fedora silverblue (gnome) or kinoite (kde) is the safest route to take. They’re difficult to break. I personally use bazzite on my framework laptop and it’s basically hassle free. Not for everyone, but they work well.
I would beg to differ. Maybe things will be different once things have mature more. At the moment, just quickly trying out a most of them, I’d easily see rough edges within first few minutes. Some would have more subtle issues, but it’s still far from foolproof.
Simple config stuff that would usually take simple file editting on /etc comes to mind.
Why would editing /etc be a problem?
I opened this thread to type out this exact comment but somehow you typed up the exact same thing before me?
