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 i come from windows 10 and i always find i need windows on atleast 1 device, and put linux on the “outdated” devices, but i keep hoping around, i cant seem to make up my mind.

    Some people actually want their computer to just work, without having too much of a faff. For people like that something like Mint is a great option. If you have a lot of time and see mucking about with the computer as a hobby, installing Arch etc. can be fun. But for the rest of us it’s just not a sensible use of our time.

      This has been an argument I’ve seen multiple times and I’ve never understood it. What specifically is taking more time to setup or configuration on Arch than on Mint?

      Between archinstall and the Mint installer it’s going through the exact same steps and questions. I’ve never seen an installation of Arch not “just work”. Genuinely curious about this.
