From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Basically, most of the points there fall into some of 3 categories:
This is more or less my experience with it. My noob-ass just can't handle even EndeavorOS.
Use endeavour if you're new
Currently on second day of troubleshooting installation. (Hopefully) 5 days to go till I finally get to boot
I've used Ubuntu for many years, it is a good start for beginners. Although my new recommendations is Mint.
Don't know what people have? The last time wifi didnt work out of the box for me was like 2010
The one and only time I said "oh hell naw" to a distro install. Mid install.
Only people with time to lose use Arch.
Normally I have the valet bring the PC around but I let him go early today 'cause it's his birthday.
Is there an easier way to install Arch? I know there's Archinstall but my dumbass messed that up somehow.
EndeavourOS is it. It's basically a better version of archinstall, especially if you're planning to install a DE.
I used endeavourOS and it was super straightforward
Well there is always Scientific Linux if arch doesn't quite cut it
