I went to install Arch and it did not seem easy. I opted for Cinnamon Mint.

Try Void it has an installer πŸ˜‰.

Kidding, stick to Mint until you feel ready you can take a bigger bite. And do opt for the Debian Edition Mint.

Not to sound condescending, but I'd like to caution against this language. Mint is a perfectly fine OS to run permanently and never look back, and you absolutely can take a bigger bite while never having to install another OS. Distros are for the most part just a jumping off point and a set of defaults.

I agree though, LMDE stronk

I said I was kidding πŸ˜‰. If he likes Mint, sure, stick to whatever rocks your boat ☺️.

Meanwhile, OpenSUSE keeps rolling along, ignored

That's because it's not RHEL πŸ˜‚.

Nah, as an arch user most people don't likely need it. Mints a great option. No matter what you do with arch (even endeavor) there'll always be alot of setup, by design, and with how fast things move they'll break commonly. Like the grub issue a bit back, or the kernal that could have caused screens to die, or more recently the nvidia drivers forcing many screens to be stuck at one brightness.

I love arch, it's a testing bed for the linux ecosystem. The first place where things exit beta and interact with each other in the wild. It's definitly not what most people want for a computer though especially not for work. That's why I duel boot with OpenSuse tumbleweed for my contract work (also, separating work and regular life makes things easier but that's not relevent)
