Caption: "When an average user who's new to Linux asks for recommendations and the usual discussion errupts".
Below two panels from an anime where first a girl holds up two grocery items (in this case two Linux distributions known to be very user friendly, Mint and Ubuntu). Then the guy holds up a single item that's NixOS, a highly technical distribution aimed at enthusiasts and professionals.

I don't think I've needed to ask anyone anything when dealing with computers (except when helping someone with a self caused issue, of course, in which case the question is usually β€œwhy did you do this?”) since I was a little kid figuring out how to use my 286... I find that usually you just need to read the fucking screen (an extremely rare talent, I've come to realise), and in harder cases a bit of googling or, if push comes to shove, RTFMing seems to do the trick... but OK, we'll see, I've been wanting to try NixOS for a while once I have the time, and my computer is getting old... maybe this summer I'll find some time, better this than updating to Windows 11 in any case. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
