![]() ![]() Then there are distros I think have great use cases but maybe don’t really offer much to the “new user” base, like Debian and RHEL(and the CentOS replacements) are great for servers and such. There are distros people call “new user-friendly” that I disagree with though, but I won’t name it so as to be nice. If you are somewhere in the middle of all of this then I would recommend EOS or fedora. ![]() If you are a person who has put up with windows and just wants their computer to kinda act like windows but without the windows, then I would say something like zorin or mint would be ideal. If you are a beginner as in never used a computer before and just want it to be easy, work out of the box, don’t have a bunch of preconceived software preferences then I would say something like pop_os or elementary would be better. Is it a beginner that wants to know about their system and play with and tinker with stuff? If so, then I say EOS is ok, but they should start with arch first (building it your self with the wiki) to really learn your system. Are they interested in joining a community?.What is the primary purpose for their PC use?.What kind of hardware do they need support?.How interested/capable are they in learning?.How do they feel about proprietary software?.The answer to all of those is “it depends” Is OpenSuse a better choice than PopOS?.Is EndeavourOS a better choice than Solus?.Is Linux Mint a better beginner choice than Fedora?.Technology enthusiasts coming to Linux for the first time.Software developers that see Linux as a development platform.People who have experience working with non-Linux technology who see their computer as a tool that should “Just work”.People with limited exposure to technology in general.Consider some of the different types of beginners that come to Linux: ![]() On the other hand, if we focused on some distros that are suitable, the conversation becomes harder. For example, my first thought for a beginner wouldn’t be Source Mage. It is certainly true that some distros are not suited for most beginners. It would be false to conclude from this fact that there is no difference at all in difficulty between various distros, and that every one is equally suitable for beginners But don’t ask me which Distro this should be, but there are more than just Mint. When you really just want to use something you will use that what others decided its enough for you. I think to find the right Distro you must spend much time and interest to learn. And that’s cool and all fine.īut there are people like me, which bought their hardware the way what was available in the lokal supermarket and decide after that to drop windows and to install Linux instead…Īnd I think as a beginner you should not get nailed to a special distribution.Īnd my decision to use EndeavourOS is not because I was so much a fan of the colours… When I see young people administrating the systems for there mothers - and Grannies! then often they know the troubles which can happen in Mint and bay the proper hardware to avoid these troubles. Well I am glad I tried it, and now I decided for myself it is not the right thing. I think it is to often to easy said that somebody new should use Mint. I just say: when you are an absolute beginner and you have an OS which is labeled user friendly but it don’t fits proberly to your hardware and you have an OS which fits much better to your hardware but its not labeled user-friendly or beginner friendly, than its the one which makes fewer problems the one which is more User friendly to this particular user.Īnd its also a question in which circumstances you are and yes what typ of human are you and maybe in which phase of your living are you? 15 years ago I had another ruler to make my decisions than today… Its a Distro worth to try…like many others… Please don’t missunderstand me, I don’t want to make Mint bad.īut I think it should not be soo much labeled as THE BEGINNER DISTRO. MX-Linux I hear very often too and Solaris, even then it seems that there are other troubles which i can’t assess. ![]()
