    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.

        Yeah many people say that but Ubuntu is not very good in my opinion. Outdated packages, snaps, commercials in the installer and so on. I would pick PopOS any day over that myself. But it’s because I’m really sensitive to those things.

          Yeah, I honestly agree that Ubuntu is getting worse. For better or worse though, it’s a base that I’m familiar with. I end up customizing and tweaking it, but I’ve automated enough of that to where I can just run a few scripts on a fresh install and be back up and running.

          Basically, I built myself a shittier, highly specific version of Nix in self-defence. 😁
