    True. I guess any of the big distros (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Mint) are fine for beginners and then they can learn what they like from there.

      Why limit it to exactly those? What’s wrong with starting with other big distros or obscure tiny distro? Hell, I know people who are using red hat or suse, not to forget the trillion Arch variants. If you’re curious and think it’s a good fit or just want to try things out, anything is fine

        Yeah okay that’s true. I just thought that some distros will be more difficult to try out, but yes you’re right, it’s probably best if people just do what they want.

        I saw this posted on Hacker News today, a short manifesto encouraging people to try new things, and to not worry about how long you stick with new things.
