Debian was not a great choise, it is not for beginners. I wonder why you chose that one.

If you want to try again, I recommend using a distribution that is recommended for beginners. For example Ubuntu.

    It's people with attitudes such as yours that give Linux a bad name. Your response to someone who's just told you that they're used to 3 different Linux DEs is that they must be a beginner and should use a beginner distro is the height of arrogance. The person you responded to is clearly not a beginner, and that's the response you have for them when they share their totally valid experience? Shameful.

    Then I misread it. He seemed like he expected a beginner-friendly experience.

    If he is experienced, and use Debian as an example of how Linux is not beginner-friendly, then he must be trolling.

    I do agree: Debian can be a bit tedious to set up and upgrade at times. It would not be my choice if you had to install a Linux distribution for the first time with no help. But, if you were able to set it up then you're good, no reason to change now.
