I’m starting to think that proposal may not have been modest after all.

Spammy?

I would try Ubuntu in your shoes, personally. It’s got downsides but it’s definitely plug and play. I don’t know what metrics distrowatch uses to rate distros but it’s widely known that Ubuntu is user friendly as hell.

Where are you getting these distros from? Most popular distros do more than “just view websites or write code.”

I’ve been using Linux for years and I’ve never heard of the distros you just named.

I’m not surprised at all that you had trouble using niche distros. Try something more popular with good documentation so you have a community supporting you with bug testing, guides, and Q+As when people run into issues you might run into later.

Frankly I’m kinda amazed that apparently most people thought that was really her spamming everyone.
