If you’re a “well acktchually” type of nerd who adores exceedingly granular control over things like choosing from twelve different versions of a driver via a command text box, then Arch is for you.
I say this as a user of an Arch-based OS; EndeavourOS is probably the closest to user-friendly as Arch gets but it still requires some nitty-gritty. Don’t worry too much about which choices you pick during installation though since it doesn’t really matter as much as it pretends to.
KDE Plasma is a desktop style close to that of windows that Arch usually defaults to, where Ubuntu’s typical desktop style is closer to Mac.
That said, once you get past the pain in the ass hurdle of figuring out your big basics in the command line, installing packages (programs/apps) is pretty easy. You can also use something called Flatpak which is like an App Store and usually easier for installing stuff.
This started out as a joke but turned into an essay. Thanks for bearing with me.
Have you guys decided which distro is the ready one?
Not yet but I’d at least narrow it down to Arch and Fedora. I don’t think either of those is a bad choice.
Lol, Arch Linux is good to learn quickly if you like that. Suggesting it to non-experts however is an act of sadism. 😅
At this point it should be obvious, btw
Enlighten me.
Is it Zorin?
Obvious to whom exactly?
it may have been an obscure reference to the “btw I use Arch” meme
Can someone explain to me like I’m a Windows user why Arch is so great? You know, over something like Ubuntu.

I got the joke!
Hint: the answer lies within the last 3 letters of their post. And is probably a joke.
Mint? Arch? Anything you like
Redstar?
