  • omfg you weren’t kidding. just wasted 15 minutes scrolling through his comment history. multiple pages were for a SINGLE COMMENT THREAD where he just dug his heels in about operator precedence of all things and refused to budge. completely and utterly closed-minded while being ignorant to anything much beyond middle-school level. I feel sorry for the poor saps that tried engaging with him











  • gentoo!!

    no but actually, linux mint is very good for newcomers, especially as its desktop has resemblance to windows. Pop!_os is also really good and better for gaming maybe? I would avoid ubuntu (slower and a lot more bloated) and especially manjaro (breaks a LOT without you even doing anything).

    I might also cautiously suggest arch? It’s kind of a meme in the community because of its own community being seen as a bit toxic, but once you’ve got past the install and customization process (which does admittedly take a lot of time and reading), you have a system that is entirely your own in almost every way. For example, in the case of desktop environments, you can use cinammon from mint or gnome from pop!_os or even a more lightweight one like xfce. You also tend to have a more stable system, as you won’t have unknowingly have some unstable packages hidden in the bowels of your system that get relied on by 73 other packages and could break at any moment.
