I grew tired of shitty “Top 10 Linux distros in ${CURRENT_YEAR}” articles so I wrote a blogpost, that I would personally consider helpful when I was starting out, so I can simply link it to people when they ask my opinion on a beginner distro.

Objective criticism is welcome and encouraged.

EDIT: there is a second post which I deleted and then made this one because I wanted to change the title, it did not get deleted for some reason but I cannot access it or interact with it, I guess I found a bug in lemmy :)

    Ridiculous to post Arch 3 times. Arch strawberry, arch strawberry but with installer and Arch but-just-a- bit-different.

      I said some points about why Arch is good, but also difficult for beginners so I listed two of its forks and said a sentence or two about them.

      On an unrelated note, strawberry is a bad choice of fruit to describe Arch distros, since they are usually in shades of blue.
