    I’d rather someone’s first choice about Linux was which DE to use. This plays a way bigger part in first impressions.

    The obvious choice is KDE, ofc

    Okay, but when most people are looking for advice on which distro to use it’s because they don’t know what they want.

    I was a huge distro hopper until I started using immutable distros. One thing no one tells beginners is that you do have to maintain your system more on Linux than other OSs because Linux gives you the rope to hang yourself with. I would always bloat my OS and things would get unruly, everything would slow down or become unstable and I would lose track of how I had everything set up. Immutability make things so much cleaner.

    If beginner, use PopOS.

    If Linux nerd, use Arch.

    That’s my guide. I don’t like any other distros. :)

      I started with Ubuntu and then migrated to Arch. I learned a ton about Linux and how tune everything for optimal performance!

      …And then I went back to Ubuntu because I just want to work with my computer, not on it.
