      I’ve never used Arch. Honestly I haven’t used linux a ton. I’ve had Ubuntu and Mint on and off. I’m re -setting up my PC for a linux OS. Any reason a plagued windows user would choose Arch or Mint?

      Edit: also want to hijack this post for linux talk ;)

        Use whatever distro you’re comfortable with, unless it lacks the features you need. I prefer Ubuntu MATE, but I use Arch because the official and user repositories generally have the newest versions of everything and I don’t have to mess with PPAs.

          I agree with this. Also, vast majority of distros come with an option for live environment from the install media which makes it super easy to test drive a few flavors before picking. I bought like 8 cheap 16GB usb drives and then made a not-so-short list of distributions that people were talking highly of. Boot up each one, tinker around for an hour or so, see what it comes with, how easy it is to get the desktop environment the way I like it, what hardware it sees and uses automatically, etc. I landed on Garuda for now, it’s new and exciting but not so scary unfamiliar. I’ve tried Mint, Manjaro, Kubuntu, Zorin, Drauger, Pop!, and Debian. I wasn’t a fan of Pop! personally, but honestly found a way to like all the rest pretty comfortably.

          I’ve got nothing against it but it takes too much tinkering if you don’t already know what you’re doing. I’ve tried a couple times for months and couldn’t stick with it as someone who grew up with Windows 95, XP, 7, and now 10

    What’s the point of blocking a bunch of Linux communities? I agree with your right to do so. Just not sure I see the point.

    You posted the exact same image here. You should probably read the sidebar, especially rule 3: “No Spam.”
