I mainly recommend Universal Blue distros to newbies, like Bazzite or Aurora. The immutable nature more or less means users don’t have to worry about performing maintenance of system apps like they might on some distros, mostly don’t have to worry about dependencies, and are less likely to irreversibly break the system themselves or in an update.
That said, these distros are Fedora-based, and I think that’s fine. No idea who out there is recommending Arch of all things.
I’m not watching some rando groyper’s clickbait. What is the reason?
Who tf is out there recommending new people Arch? What a non-issue!
Its a good way to learn how different parts of Linux work
After you install arch a couple times you won’t be making posts asking why your grub is broken, youll already k ow how to fix it.
The last time my grub was broken was around 2012 when I ran Arch. After that I have rarely thought about grub at all.
OK so just dont learn the fundamentals I guess.
Really lazy attitude
Well I personally think that Fedora is a bad recommendation too. It’s not just about Arch.
I never see people recommend Arch any more. New users should research the distro they should use instead of choosing the distribution they’ve heard of the most.
I would recommend Arch, but only to users who want to learn and understand linux and have the time to do so.
Eh, archinstall is a thing nowadays – there is nothing to “learn” on arch anymore.
I strongly disagree, they should go in with an absolute baby beginner distro first, learn all about how it works from a user’s level, and then they can go back and start building up from scratch with arch.
first steps would be to stop calling a distro baby beginner been running debian for 24 years. Linus runs Fedora the exclusive idea I run a hard distro with a custom window manager and use CLI for everything Is pure ego and toxic. Now don’t get me wrong there is no issue with using Arch or a window manager vs DE. But the idea that as you advance it’s a foregone conclusion you will used that config or distro.
Looks like open suze is going to experience more corporate bullshyt
The parent is suggesting the non corporate part is going to need to be renamedI lost interest in open suze after I was dead ended on version 15
SUSE also has multiple controversial pacts with Microsoft, and has for a long time. Such as the Novell-Microsoft agreement.
There was a time when it looked possible that MS was going to sue lots of Linux projects, and SUSE immediately jumped into a cosy relationship with MS so that if it did happen, they’d be shielded. This was interpreted as a fuck you to other FOSS projects by much of the community. (Was a long time ago though)
SUSE isn’t owned by Novell anymore though. So this isn’t particularly relevant.
They aren’t, no. But SUSE has continued working with MS, and many of the people that were there are still there.
Perhaps their close relationship is an irrational thing to point at in the current year. Perhaps it isn’t. I don’t really know tbh.
But it’s certainly something some people are still a bit iffy about. And I’m sure some people will still be similarly iffy about RedHat in 10 years too for their recent licencing controversy.
