I grew tired of shitty “Top 10 Linux distros in ${CURRENT_YEAR}” articles so I wrote a blogpost, that I would personally consider helpful when I was starting out, so I can simply link it to people when they ask my opinion on a beginner distro.
Objective criticism is welcome and encouraged.

I really love actual content. It feels like the internet has become full of seo-promoted garbage and the real content have just vanished. Nice writeup!
Pop OS is my recommendation for new users who want to play games, especially those with Nvidia GPUs.
Good write up.
have you got an 88x31 button? i’d like to link to this
(no worries if you haven’t, i’ll just use a text link)
I do not have one, I am not very artistic so I keep things plaintext and simple. But https://zeusofthecrows.github.io/stadt/ really makes me wanna reconsider, I really like how it looks and it reminds me that I should visit neocities more.
thank you : )
you should! i started out with a much simpler jekyll generated site
Which distro wont send me into the terminal every time I need something?
I’m using Pop! OS and basically I only need to use the terminal when tinkering with Wine (because I’m stubborn and don’t use Lutris), launching StableDiffusion or doing some wacky shit like trying to install a compatibility layer for android apps.
Probably Mint or ElementaryOS are your safest bets. Personally I think being able to use the Linux terminal is an advantage though, way more reliable and consistent than windows’ settings/control panel/powershell fiasco
I didn’t ask for a distro that didn’t have the terminal available.
