(Almost) ready to turn my beloved MacBook Air 2013 - which is gathering dust on a shelf - into a #Linux laptop.Only problem: multiple people might have swayed me to pick Arch Linux as the distro. #ArchLinux!!! I know NOTHING but from all the Linux memes I've seen over the years, I've always been intimidated by it.Debating whether to go with it or #Mint or #Ubuntu. Thoughts?Edit / update: it's now a toss-up between Mint and Fedora. I may try Arch on my Raspi4#MySoCalledSudoLife #AskFedi

@_elena In the end it's a philosophical question:Do you you want a system that you have to conform to and that hides from you what you don't seem to need at the time or do you want to gain an understanding of your system, so you can learn how to properly do things your way?First one is the Big Tech/Linux Mint-approach, the second one is the Arch way.Also: If it comes down to Mint or Fedora, have some self-respect and do yourself a favor, get Fedora.
