Comment on Which Linux Distribution has the best Community Support?
CubitOom@infosec.pub 2 days agoI don’t personally believe in those categories. I think it should be broken down to
- "doesn’t want to read errors"
- “ok with reading errors and willing to research”
- “knows how to fix that error”
I think if you are ok with reading, researching, learning, and willing to make mistakes, your computer actually becomes easier to use from the terminal.
Now, your use case is important, so is your workflow. There is no correct solution and you should try to take the time to discover the right solution for yourself.
I’d say, start with a distro with a live image and test. You can reinstall a computer as often as you want with different distros.
I use endeavourOS for gaming, web browsing, hosting, development, video editing, meme creating, and many other things. So I’d say it’s really general purpose.

Live image and test?
do you mean I’d download a distro, put it on a USB, and then extract/open it in there, and test it out?
(and ofc, saving my data on my own desktop on an external hard disk, before committing to switch)?

A live image is an ISO that you can boot directly to without installing on to your drive. You can place it on a USB stick with Ventoy, and then during post you chose to boot from the USB instead of your installed drive.
The EndeavorOS ISOs are live images too.
