I grew tired of shitty “Top 10 Linux distros in ${CURRENT_YEAR}” articles so I wrote a blogpost, that I would personally consider helpful when I was starting out, so I can simply link it to people when they ask my opinion on a beginner distro.

Objective criticism is welcome and encouraged.

EDIT: there is a second post which I deleted and then made this one because I wanted to change the title, it did not get deleted for some reason but I cannot access it or interact with it, I guess I found a bug in lemmy :)

    I love Fedora but since they are no longer shipping the most popular media codecs on install I can’t recommend them for beginners. I myself was a bit blindsided by this when wanted to start watching a movie with family and had to scramble to download the codecs 😅
