    I often see people recommend arch and fedora to newbies and then wondering why people turn away from Linux, they should recommend Linux mint, or and steam os

        Ubuntu betrayed the community with some opaque proprietary bullshit. We don’t recommend it to newbies anymore, because they won’t know when to jump ship to avoid a lot of headaches later.

        Ubuntu may still be fine for advanced users who know what deal they’re making with which devil.

        But I don’t feel ethical recommending Ubuntu to newbies anymore.

      Steam OS is based on arch, and outside of the Steam Deck it’s really not that great of a distro. It’s just tailor-made for that hardware and has good brand recognition.

      Bazzite is a similar concept but operates better as an actual OS outside of being a gaming console.
