  • That’s true and not true at the same time. The one advantage Windows has in this regard is that everyone is working on the same “distro” as it were. With Linux the various components can vary enough to be confusing. I think that is why it’s important to choose a distro with a sizeable community.

    Something like Ubuntu, or an arch derivative like endeavouros are a good choice for that reason.

    I would also warm against the copy paste of commands that you don’t know what you are doing with. The one nice thing is that in 2025 you can drop a command into your choice of LLM assistant and get a pretty good description of what it does without breaking out the man pages.

    That really is not a satisfying answer. It is incredibly nebulous and even if it did have a nice definition I guarantee most software developers will tell you a lot of software rarely reaches that state.

    I can see why they might want to avoid 1000 GitHub issues bike shedding things but they could open source the code and just not have open contribution

    If you like KDE your night find endeavouros with KDE pretty good. It is an arch derivative so it is rolling release, if that is acceptable then I would say give it a try.






  • It really comes down to if you are trying to use newer hardware or not. Debian based systems usually run fine out of the box on older systems.

    For newer hardware your going to want new drivers and kernel versions which you get with a rolling release distro.
