    “Why are people promoting beginner friendly distros on a post about reasons to switch?”

    U are right, lets promote Nix and Gentoo here

      Mint was the default suggestion for people switching from Windows until a few days ago, and then Zorin popped up.

        Yeah true that mint is the default. But if you look up any beginner distro recommendation then zorin is often also mentioned. Zorin 18 released last week so it’s a getting a bit more mentions then normal. But look up any beginner distro video or article and it’s always mint and zorin. Zorin has been around since 2009

      Gentoo is the best OS I’ve ever tried.

      With install script and automatic updates it would be OK for 95% of people.

        Thats awesome, personally never tried it. But it keeps popping up in “hard distros” discussions.

        Man all these install scripts are making every distro too accessible 🤣🤣 /s

        Only way too stay cool now is to switch to hannah montana os, or freebsd lol
