    I agree that arch is stupid for newbies. I was taking a poke at mint. I would never suggest that.

    Alma/Rocky is what CentOS used to be.

    You can install KDE on Ubuntu, but point taken on KDE (I’m not familiar with cinnamon).

    I suggested basically RHEL and Debian because, like you said they are stable and relatively easy to install.

    Snap is rather new to me as well. I have a recent LTS install of Ubuntu and I don’t use it. I doubt someone who’s new into Linux will touch it.

    My other big concern is systemd. If you’re not familiar with Linux, systemd is a nightmare when things go wrong. But, I suppose a newbie won’t care

      GRUB was a nightmare for me when things went wrong (EndeavourOS / Arch). I think you can say that to a lot of critical Linux system components though. Mint is generally one of the more stable distros out there though and generally considered to be the better Ubuntu.

      You think you don’t use it. Have firefox installed? All that apt install did was grab a wrapper for snap :( same for some other software.
