A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

That's not an easy question to answer...It usually boils down to: What is easier for new users to adjust to, what is more customizable, what works on the latest or oldest hardware. I don't think there is an objectively best distro out there, there is no one distro to rule them all. There is a bad one, don't use Omarchy as it is a fascists distro. Fascists are investing a lot of energy, money, vibe-coded slopware, putting that on top of Arch Linux (which I hope doesn't get a bad reputation due to DHH, the bastard). There are other easier to install and use distros like Mint, Fedora, openSUSE. These three that I have mentioned have a reasonable amount of documentation on them, and active communities to ask questions of if necessary!
If you absolutely must have Arch Linux and are prepared to learn: EndeavourOS, Garuda Linux, CachyOS (be prepared to fight a lot of little issues with that one) are the three main easier to install Arch Linux based distros. Better for more recent hardware because drivers are a bit more up to date. Arch Linux is a rolling release distro so be prepared for updates.
Then you have easier to run on older hardware like Debian is nice for that purpose, they don't really update all that often with major releases.
Nice detailed answer, thanks!
