Guys, what's the best Linux distro to install on my PC?
The community:
Yep im guilty of that.
Honestly as long as theare using some kind of *nix im happy.
There's no one size fits all for picking a distro, it's up to the user.
Except arch, arch is perfect
/s
I love when people try to criticize this. They cant imagine having options.
Yea it's funny I've asked the community before whats the best Linux distro for XYZ and have had all sorts of responses. It took running mint, manjaro, ubunto, pop, tried arch, to figure out that it's a ridiculous question. The community can only help you pick one to start with, but given there's 3 real bases and thousands of choices off each base it's quite frankly up to preference for the most part what Linux distro will work best for you!
Distro chooser is a thing. Or was. I'm not being able to open the site right now.
From that point forward, it is up to the user to decide how much or little they want or need.
