Depends on what you’re looking for. I’m guessing you’re more of neophyte to Linux or you probably wouldn’t be asking.
I always recommend Linux Mint to newbies. It’s very user friendly (more so than windows 11 imo), and it’s a spin off of Ubuntu, so it’s got great support behind it.
Ubuntu itself is a spin off of a distro called Debian, so if you ever have problems with Linux Mint and you can’t find an answer on the very helpful Linux Mint forums, you could always search for your answer on Ubuntu’s forums, or Debian’s.
Arch based distros are better for newer hardware because it’s bleeding edge, but that laptop looks so old that you probably wouldn’t need anything like that.
I like fedora’s defaults (which are very different to ubuntu/mints) and I’d still recommend it to a seasoned linux user. (I use opensuse aeon btw, but I wouldn’t recommend it to starters)
Why is mint only for starters? When do you reach the point where you outgrow it?
Try again and read the post you were answering too in the first place.
By luck you’ll find the only, which wasn’t mentioned by the originating post (original_charles) or my plus one post, but was introduced by the illusionist.

Second linux mint for starters.
When do you guys outgrow mint?

It’s not just for starters. Lots of veterans use it too.
Nobody wrote just or only for starters. It is just darn easy for beginners and somewhat familiar for people switching.
You basically never outgrow it, and naturally you can always head over to experiment with other distros (e.g. CachyOS).
You are confused. Try again.

Okay let me try again:
Kay, kay. We’re tooting the same horn. Let’s get back to enjoy our unity on that one.
Do you get hit more than the average person?
