My revised Linux distro recommendations for newbies.

  1. Ultramarine Linux

  2. Fedora (KDE Spin)

  3. Manjaro Linux *

  4. MX Linux (KDE)

Suggested distros that are still newbie-ish friendly, but may require some basic skills, beyond "blissfully ignorance"

  1. EndeavourOS

  2. CachyOS

  3. Regata OS

  4. Alpine Linux *+

  • Recommend for systems 15 years or older with 4 GB of Ram or less.
  • If you are OK with a setup that will ask you simple yes/no questions, but in a terminal screen (still friendly and easy).

Remove, Snap. -- WHY?

Canonical Ubuntu's Snap has hosted more scam apps than Microsoft Store, Apple Store, Google Play Store, or Flatpak. -- Let that sink in.

If you're a Linux user, use Flatpak. Do not use or trust Snap. Ubuntu refuses to conduct proper reviews, and it's getting scary. Do not trust Snaps.

A employee reported some out-of-tree code broke after something internal was renamed recently in 5.15.y – and as expected was told this is no regression at all, as the does not have a binary kernel interface, nor does it have a stable kernel interface:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/924449dc-9b1f-4943-afe3-a68c03aedbb5@canonical.com/

Christoph Hellwig in a reply also wrote: "given that Canonical ignores our licensing rules and tries to get away with it I'm not going to offer any help to Canonical at all."

2/ "Given that ignores our licensing rules and tries to get away with it I'm not going to offer any help to Canonical at all."

If you wonder what this statement from esteemed developer Christoph Hellwig is about:

I'm not 100% sure, but I expect it's either the bundling of 's proprietary kernel graphics driver module or the inclusion of the modules in - or more likely both.

Snap Store takes action against malicious app uploads, implementing a manual approval policy for new applications. Here's more on that!

So, I had this thread a (few?) year(s) ago or so about how I can no longer recommend Ubuntu for new Linux users, that got a bit of traction.

Now I really have to insist that you don't either! And again Snap is the biggest part of it. Canonical is putting their users in danger, this is very much not ok!

I think it’s important to remember that if you’re using the excuse that your software project should not be held to account for being inaccessible because it is released under a free software license what you’re really saying is that disabled people are not welcome in the free software world.
