Is it a good distro for beginners? Only using it for word-processing

>>58010670
I mean I only want to use it for the aforementioned purposes. I haven't installed anything yet.

Some form of Ubuntu is probably the best choice for beginners. Manjaro might also be worth a look. I don't have any experience with Mageia, so I couldn't tell you if it's worth using.

Ubuntu is good for a test-drive and for work.

Arch is good for learning CLI.

Stop recommanding Ubuntu it's shit for beginners.
It's not because you try to do a modern UI thats your are noob-friendly
In fact their are ton of settings that you can do on Mageia and Opensuse with a GUI.
Settings that need a terminal/edit a text file/installing a tier app on Ubuntu, even basic tasks like changing the theme.

>>58010849
But I wouldn't recommand Mageia they struggle too much to deliver the new versions.
Opensuse have more peoples on it.

>>58010859
It has a decent documentation tho.
Only thing I need is my drivers working

>>58010670
Solus.
Hands down the perfect distro for your use case.

kevin pls

>>58011140
He's not wrong though. Solus has everything op needs and will perform better than any distro at it too.

openSUSE or Manjaro

top kek m8

Arch is good for learning how to copy paste. They don't even use standard directory/file structure but try to copy BSDs poorly.

If you want to learn the CLI go with Slackware.

>>58010670
ZorinOS. Easy, looks nice and I never had to open the terminal once when I used it.

>>58011210
This

Also new to Linux, I want a distro that is a pretty complete package, but I still want to learn things like CLI

What am I looking for, Manjaro? I saw someone say it's similar to Arch...

>>58011312
Debian.

>>58011312
Debian.

>>58010670
I haven't been far in the Mageia install, I got a BIOS/UEFI compatibility problem and been mistaken by the community for a troll before going to Manjaro.

I believe using BTRFS as default file system means it's meme-driven. Wish you the best tho.

>>58011199
Your desperate attempts to samefag are pathetic. Congrats though, you've become a meme.

>>58011312
Archlinux imo

>>58011312
Just Ubuntu and check "install third party bla bla" during installation.
If it's a laptop, look for "tlp" in the software thing, or just "sudo apt install tlp" in a terminal after installation. Other than that, it's complete enough.

Xubuntu

arc darker is a good theme desu

>>58010859
This means they have small QA team. 16.04 should be delayed till summer, so bigger community don't works as intended.

>>58013366
Bump for what?

>>58013366
Question has been answered. Install solus

i chose openSUSE after many distrohopping (Debian,Fedora,Ubuntu,Manjaro).
confiest disrto for me, it just werks

>>58016138
it comes with kevinnet right?

>>58010670
Ubuntu because it has the best out of box hardware support and stability while still being up to date. I've pretty much never had driver issues on Ubuntu, while I've had driver issues on every other distro I've ever used. Debian, Fedora, Open SUSE, Arch

>>58010670
Its a pretty basic distro, I liked the configurations UI though, it comes with some nice useful config tools.
If you just want word processing and shitposting then I guess any distro will do the job, just get the one with a DE you like.

didn't read thread

No, it's not. Only good distro for beginners is Ubuntu or Mint.

Only good distro for anyone who doesn't want to spend time fixing their OS is also Ubuntu or Mint
