Imagine going to a pizzeria. You've heard great things about it, how tasty it is and how cheap it is. Now once you get in there, there are a ton of people who don't work there, but are telling you that the burger place down the road is bad because they are expensive and lack options. But everyone you know goes to this burger place. So you decide that a pizza is in order, but all these people are yelling and screaming about how their crust type is the best, and then you have people listing every single topping combination and the benefits of each, but nobody has a consensus on any of it. Only then will you realize that they are all waiting for their own pizza order. And once you actually get to the counter, there is no menu board and you are expected to just order a pizza. The voices of what is the better pizza are drowning out your thoughts on what you actually need, so you leave and get back in line for the same burger every other person is ordering. Maybe I can add cheese, but it's still the same cheese. That is what the Linux community is like.

I mean kinda. It definitely used to be a lot closer to your analogy. I think for the most part, noobs are directed to a Debian based distro or a gaming arch based distro. All depending on skill level, patience, and how much you care about "extensive support"

I used to exclusively recommend Linux Mint to beginners, but if you ONLY want to game it's probably better to do something like Cachy or Pop OS. Debian is for people who want extensive 3rd party prebuilt binaries. That's the closest to windows philosophy you'll get.

Lastly, I use distro watch to find out more info about new and exciting pizzas.

If anyone cares to know my pizza journey. It was: Ubuntu -> Linux Mint -> Debian -> Manjaro -> Endeavour OS

You should really switch to pizza, bro.
