Since Windows 11 has recently become borderline unusable in many old PCs, I’m trying to convince some people to try Linux. Problem is that I have spent the last few years with a custom built Archlinux and have no idea what is the recommended starter distro nowadays.
They’re stubborn and not willing to learn how to use a terminal or anything of the sort, which clashes with my CS background experience too.
Any recommendations? DPKG distros are okay, but bonus points for rolling release ones.
Edit: thanks for the help y’all! I’ll take a look on Mint and maybe Manjaro.
Also, I forgot to say, to save ram on ram-starved PCs, use a single color background (my favorite is #317E9F). Or if you’re going to use an image, make sure its pixel size is exactly the screen res. If you use a 4k image (that Mint usually defaults on), on a small screen resolution, you’re wasting anywhere from 50 to 100 MB of RAM (because you count it uncompressed in memory, not how much storage it takes). Little known tip!
