    It isn't an argument: the answer is Mint.

    Linux Mint is what you recommend to noobs and normies. All the cool kids are using NixOS now.

    That's just a less powerful version of NixOS' atomic updates.

    Oh... I... No, I was kidding, cause like the joke always is some always say they use arch Linux...

    I made a silly comment earlier too about Frieren's name meaning old hag (I know it means freeze, as a verb), and that one didn't land either. Ugh, maybe I should stop making stupid comments....

    stop recommending mint to noobs and normies! EndeavorOS is stable enough for an average user, while offering the helping hand of ArchWiki and AURs.

    It depends on the person, do they want to just use something which can open the browser, office suite, and occasionaly some games/programs without uderstanding anything, or they like to tinker, and customize, break and repair their system. I recommend Mint/Eos/Arch based on the willingness of thinkering. Cinnamon is easy and straight forward, KDE is not.

    EOS most certainly can open the browser out of the box. I don't see why such a user would have an issue with kde, or, for the matter, why any windows refugee would

    My EOS/Arch had broke down after update 3 times since I use them. 2 times nvidia 1 time grub. Anyone without the knowledge and willingness to thinker, will think linux is bad because broke for no reason. As long as they willing to have a bootable USB next to their PC and don't mind to chroot sometimes EOS/Arch is a better choice. I think many-many people overestimate the average human's knowledge and willingness to understand things. Relevant XKCD 2501

    Hey you- you reading this, try talking to someone on the fediverse who's perspective you dont understand. Share what you think and try to understand what they do :)

    We're all just here escaping the corporate dystopia. Reject the engagement-centric rage bait socialization we've all been handed and be curious about whatever weird belief system or ideology that internet rando has. We can build a different culture here, its not too late

    Ya, except one time I mentioned something about having a hard time getting nurses at the long term care center I work at to work on Easter Sunday (instead of 2/3 of them calling out fake sick), because people will literally die if there's no staff there. I was dog piled by people saying 1. I am a corpo shill/capitalist slave-driver for expecting people to show up for their shift, and 2. Something, something, this is the fault of capitalism, communism is the fix.

    I've been here since the APIcolypse, and I understood about half of the OP, but you get my upvote, anyway.

    My defining moment of the fediverse is when I made a stupid joke asking about Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and was told the short answer was Capitalism.

    Most of the post is geared more towards Mastodon/microblogiverse content, rather than Lemmy/threadiverse stuff. There's a lot of cultural overlap, but where they diverge, this post aims for the former.

    For full verification: What exactly is the good kind of Linux?

    Mint and/or Arch and/or anything other than Ubuntu, depending on who you ask

    It's weird to group Mint with Arch. I see Mint as the best intro for a Windows user, hardly similar to Arch.

    I use Ubuntu btw. I don't care what anyone thinks, it's working great and that's all I wanted from an OS (yeah, looking at you Microsoft).

    DAY IN THE LIFE OF A TRUE FEDIVERSE USER

    Morning: Eat pronouns cereal for breakfast

    Afternoon: Meow for ninety minutes straight and then dye hair blue

    Evening: Fediblock an Instance because one of their users forgot to CW for tomatoes in their post

    Late evening: Install Linux on a TI graphic calculator, but only the good kind of Linux

    Night: Stay up until 3 am and only get 4½ h sleep

    Direct link to the Toot.

    You're welcome, @klu9@piefed.social

    Next morning: Self-diagnose clear signs of sleep deprivation as being ADHD or ASD.

    Next afternoon: Google a lot of stuff about neurodivergence but tell everyone you used Duck Duck Go.

    Next evening: Look around Lemmy for comments to reply to with all the stuff just learned from Google, even if they're half a year old.

    Next late evening: Remember to eat.

    Next night: Stay up until 5am complaining about the man, anxiety, and ongoing struggles of a fried brain. Get 3 hours sleep.

    Half of the Fediverse is just far left politics. You have to at least spend a few hours a day engaging in some internal infighting over something trivial or coming up with unhinged takes or calling everything a lib before patting yourself on the back for being a hard working revolutionary.
