    Working pc with low effort? Just use Linux Mint. Is basically an Ubuntu without bloat and less strict on packages. Also cinnamon as desktop is both super windows-familiar and customizable with close to no need for the terminal.

    Gaming pc fast and updated? Catchy OS with a KDE plasma desktop. So you can say to other “I use Arch (derivate) btw”.

    So far, I’m Arch with KDE as my top pick (cachyOS).

    When i had to start troubleshooting issues for my wife’s laptop and kids PCs, I switched everyone back to windows so I could have some peace. Its unfortunate.

    choosing a linux distro can be hard for newcomers. that’s why i recommend going on distrowatch and picking a easy to use distro. i know it’s weird advice but thats how i wound up picking a linux distro and never looked back.

    OP is posting AI slop and plagiarizing other people’s work. Lead image seems a cyanide and happiness cartoon, but it’s a blatent ripoff, and they watermarked it with their own username to boot. And no communication out transparency around any of that as well

    Choice is good when you can make an informed choice. Choice is bad if you are forced to make a decisions where you have no idea of the consequences.

    Having to learn and inform yourself of your options is truly among the most terrifying experiences of the modern person

    Worst when the newcomers chose Arch because they’ve heard is very configurable.

    Then complain that Linux is hard.
