KDE Neon for me. Previously Linux Mint. Both of their app stores are not great (on KDE Neon it only does flatpaks, and takes a full minute to launch), and my apt has had some kind of broken package/dependency for ages now. Also tried to install some app the other day through apt, cant remember what, but it wanted a different version of a package, but it wouldn't let me install it cause other things depended on a different version. In the end I just gave up and installed the flatpak instead.

Also multiple times, on both Mint and Neon, an update has randomly broken my Nvidia driver, so I had to restore a Timeshift backup.

And Ubuntu/Ubuntu-based distros are supposed to be the easiest.

    What do you mean "limited account"? Do you mean no sudo access? Because I literally wouldn't be able to install anything except for flatpaks. Are you implying that the breakages are my fault? Cause if so, what did I do to cause them? I don't personally think I've done anything crazy.

    Also yes, windows breaks things sometimes as well. But my Linux install has broken over 5 times in the year and a half I've been using it. My windows install has broken... not once in the past 5 years. I have definitely had problems, but none so bad that I had to restore a backup or fix it with a live usb like I've had to with Linux.

    I still like the freedom it gives me, that's why I still use it. But I feel like recommending it to people who don't know what they're doing is a horrible idea.
