I say better for them to make the jump now to Ubuntu and figure out a distro better suited for their needs later on than to remain on Windows while having choice paralysis about what distro to chose.
Yeah, a guy recently said that they’d jump into Mint and I could’ve said that I started on that, too (a fucking decade ago, apparently), but I was considering to tell them they could start with $BETTER_DISTRO right away for so long, that I didn’t end up saying much at all. 🫠
I still think it’s a decent entry choice. I won’t touch it myself anymore, personally, but Canonical is still better than Microslop. That bar is set so low that even snap can clear it.
“my friend recommended I use Ubuntu”
me (screaming internally, about canonical, about snaps, about bloat): “That… that’s good. Good choice.”
For me, I started with Ubuntu then Parrot Os then MX Linux
