    You could just say Linux, lol.

    We gotta stop upvoting distro-shilling.

      Right and people that don’t know which distros to use will get lost

      How are you supposed to get new people in without advising?

          Switching OS requires proper DD anyway. What’s wrong with giving people ideas to start their journey?

            Because you people don’t actually care about helping others, just shilling what you personally like.

              The shilling has ideological and logical underpinnings though…

              Sure if you don’t care about privacy, security and autonomy, this shilling is whatever.

              But for anyone freedom enjoyer, it will resonate. That’s target.

              Do you expect fedi crowd to be shilling corporate parasite solutions?

              If so, what’s your logic and ideology for that?

          Should all new Linux users get through 10 distros and years of trial and error, before settling for one they like the most?

          Imagine you want to leave MS and windows behind and are greeted by comments of your caliber. Then please provide an alternative starting point, elaborate, be helpful.

          This is just passive aggressive my dude.

            Maybe when you’re older you’ll understand.

            If you go through your entire life without getting it, then that’s sad.

            At this point I expect the latter to occur.

              Keep your secrets sensei. You get no more attention from me. Happy gatekeeping, or trolling or whatever this supposed to be.

      I find that’s very unhelpful to potential Linux converts. They will quickly find out that there are infinite flavors of Linux, become overwhelmed, and give up.

      When you are introducing newcomers to Linux, it’s best to make specific suggestions.

      Try just telling someone that they need to switch to Linux with no other details. They’ll either get confused/overwhelmed by choice, or possibly choose one that isn’t user friendly and hate it.

      People have to start somewhere, and I see no issue with recommending user friendly distros to get them going.
