Say a friend is looking for a new system, and said person is not particularly savvy with technology, what system would you point them toward?

      Mint is not run by professionals. It has been pwnd more than once. It’s pretty, slightly better run than manjaro and has no reason to exist when ubuntu, fedora and suse exist.

      Please stop pointing to mint as a starting place. Every level user is going to get a more secure and reliable experience avoiding mint.

      Ubuntu, fedora, suse and spins of those 3. I wouldn’t put a normal user on anything else without extenuating circumstances.

        Yes, they’re terrible because you can’t navigate through their settings without a mouse. Tab only goes so far in KDE. I couldn’t stand it.

        Correct, I wrote a decent comment about the actual issues with Linux for the average user in this thread
