I always find it funny when people do that with Windows, Mac, and Linux. It completely misses the fact that Linux can be all of these things.

OS for kids: https://www.sugarlabs.org/

Just works: https://www.linuxmint.com/

Fuck around and find out: https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/

Just works should change from mint to cachyos, fuck around and find out should be gentoo, linux from scratch is you building it from literally nothing, not even torvalds do that (he uses fedora).

Should also have another one, the best:

OpenSuse Tumbleweed

I use it on my work machine, against all managerial shenanigans, truly the best distro.

    Pretty sure Torvalds originally built Linux from not Linux

    Yeah, minix, etc. I'm drunk, so don't take my comments as anything serious.

    And minix is a unix fork. Unix itself being a child of Multics.

    Minix is not a Unix fork, it’s a Unix-like (along with Linux). Tanenbaum wrote Minix from scratch as an educational tool. It’s userland these days is basically NetBSD but at the kernel level, Minix has a very different architecture to Unixes.
