@ZombieCyborgFromOuterSpace @black0ut Debian is beginner friendly and it has distros even more beginner friendly, so IMO people should start with that.

Yes. I agree. It's also much more stable so you don't spend time troubleshooting. And there's tons of support and even 3rd party packages available for peripherals and hardware.

That's what I personally recommend.
