    i know this is mostly a joke but I feel like beginners would have an easier time with fedora than debian

      I haven’t used Fedora since Core 2 came out in … fuck, 2004? Ok, I need to revisit that one.

      Debian has far more support from 3rd party software vendors than Fedora. That’s one reason I stick with Debian.

        For sure, but fedora comes with the new anaconda installer which is easy asf for beginners. I feel like the Debian installed could use a major UX makeover if were recommending it to beginners
