I grew tired of shitty “Top 10 Linux distros in ${CURRENT_YEAR}” articles so I wrote a blogpost, that I would personally consider helpful when I was starting out, so I can simply link it to people when they ask my opinion on a beginner distro.

Objective criticism is welcome and encouraged.

EDIT: there is a second post which I deleted and then made this one because I wanted to change the title, it did not get deleted for some reason but I cannot access it or interact with it, I guess I found a bug in lemmy :)

    Probably Mint or ElementaryOS are your safest bets. Personally I think being able to use the Linux terminal is an advantage though, way more reliable and consistent than windows’ settings/control panel/powershell fiasco

      I didn’t ask for a distro that didn’t have the terminal available.
