    I’d rather someone’s first choice about Linux was which DE to use. This plays a way bigger part in first impressions.

    The obvious choice is KDE, ofc

      I totally agree, that’s a way more important factor when you’re starting out with Linux.

      Gotta be Gnome though

      @sharkfucker420 @atmur Same, its funny Kubuntu died on me twice on one year due to updates, while Arch hasn’t died yet. Yes, it almost broke completly twice but I was able to fix it with help ( and always the error was related to my clumsiness ). And also, using arch has lead me to understanding many things about linux that I wouldn’t pay attention in ubuntu.

      Also, now I can say Arch BTW which probably is the main reason for moving ngl

    If beginner, use PopOS.

    If Linux nerd, use Arch.

    That’s my guide. I don’t like any other distros. :)

      I started with Ubuntu and then migrated to Arch. I learned a ton about Linux and how tune everything for optimal performance!

      …And then I went back to Ubuntu because I just want to work with my computer, not on it.
