Just wondering as ive been told many os’s online and then told to not use certain one aswell, i feel confused on what linux os to try someday. i come from windows 10 and i always find i need windows on atleast 1 device, and put linux on the “outdated” devices, but i keep hoping around, i cant seem to make up my mind.

    Why/how would I recommend a distro to someone who has used multiple distros, but doesn’t even bother saying what they are, what they didn’t like about them, or what they are looking for?

    Looking for the best distros to start with is like looking for the best youtube tech channels, you do not get a list of the best, you get a list of the biggest, that are recommended because they are the biggest, that just become bigger because of that.

    Flavour of the week distros are also a thing, zombies following each other and trashtubers to a distro, and then claiming it is the best ever.

    mint is the 1st distro I used, it is terrible, and backwards. I looked at it again a couple of months ago, it still sucks.

    debian… seriously?

    ubuntu, that has a certain amount of merit, partially as just a reasonable way to test different DE’s via kubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu etc, and partially because a lot of sites online give instructions for ubuntu

      You can just recommend something you think is good, but again, there is no such thing in your head. The only good distro to you is the one that doesn’t exist.
