It depends on the person, do they want to just use something which can open the browser, office suite, and occasionaly some games/programs without uderstanding anything, or they like to tinker, and customize, break and repair their system. I recommend Mint/Eos/Arch based on the willingness of thinkering. Cinnamon is easy and straight forward, KDE is not.
EOS most certainly can open the browser out of the box. I don't see why such a user would have an issue with kde, or, for the matter, why any windows refugee would
My EOS/Arch had broke down after update 3 times since I use them. 2 times nvidia 1 time grub. Anyone without the knowledge and willingness to thinker, will think linux is bad because broke for no reason. As long as they willing to have a bootable USB next to their PC and don't mind to chroot sometimes EOS/Arch is a better choice. I think many-many people overestimate the average human's knowledge and willingness to understand things. Relevant XKCD 2501
Hey you- you reading this, try talking to someone on the fediverse who's perspective you dont understand. Share what you think and try to understand what they do :)
We're all just here escaping the corporate dystopia. Reject the engagement-centric rage bait socialization we've all been handed and be curious about whatever weird belief system or ideology that internet rando has. We can build a different culture here, its not too late
Ya, except one time I mentioned something about having a hard time getting nurses at the long term care center I work at to work on Easter Sunday (instead of 2/3 of them calling out fake sick), because people will literally die if there's no staff there. I was dog piled by people saying 1. I am a corpo shill/capitalist slave-driver for expecting people to show up for their shift, and 2. Something, something, this is the fault of capitalism, communism is the fix.
Look Richard, if you put as much effort into finishing Hurd as you do trying to convince everyone to put GNU at the start of everything Hurd would get a release.
I've been here since the APIcolypse, and I understood about half of the OP, but you get my upvote, anyway.
My defining moment of the fediverse is when I made a stupid joke asking about Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and was told the short answer was Capitalism.
Most of the post is geared more towards Mastodon/microblogiverse content, rather than Lemmy/threadiverse stuff. There's a lot of cultural overlap, but where they diverge, this post aims for the former.
Where do you get the btw version? I only see the regular version on their website. Is this some sort of members-only version? I’d love to give it a try.
Half of the Fediverse is just far left politics. You have to at least spend a few hours a day engaging in some internal infighting over something trivial or coming up with unhinged takes or calling everything a lib before patting yourself on the back for being a hard working revolutionary.
Un-ironically, Arch-based distros are solid now. I use Manjaro which means I'm dumb or something, but I've found it to be generally great. The AUR is a wonderful thing.

You forgot between the evening and late evening: Argue with other Fediverse users for few hours about which linux is the good linux first

Lmaooooo
It isn't an argument: the answer is Mint.
Linux Mint is what you recommend to noobs and normies. All the cool kids are using NixOS now.
Ha get with the times old man it's cachyos now. Even that's getting old though I assume some new shit will come into the spotlight soon
The real cool kids use the new gen of image based distros like Bluefin now 😎
That's just a less powerful version of NixOS' atomic updates.
I use arch btw
I use Linux Mint XFCE Edition.
i use linux mint sothat i can give better help to noobs and normies who use linux mint. (and i have been using debian for 10 years before that)
stop recommending mint to noobs and normies! EndeavorOS is stable enough for an average user, while offering the helping hand of ArchWiki and AURs.

Obviously they're installing Alpine Linux, not some bloated Ubuntu crap. Actually, since Ubuntu has switched to uutils, is it uutils/Linux now?
Gnubuntu vs Uubuntu

"for ninety minutes straight"
False. We don't do anything straight for any amount of time
Meow for 90 minutes straight? This person knows nothing of the fediverse
Yeah, it's dye hair first (other acceptable colors are purple, pink, and so on), then meow for 90 minutes!
found this picture today that perfectly sums it up:
Fake. No beans, moths, corn…
Or jeans, pondering orbs, or Taylor Swift's jet... and not even one Star Trek/Wars/LOTR reference!?
Ya, I always watch some corn before I go to sleep.
as one does.
4½ hours? Whoa look at sleeping beauty over here bragging about how much sleep they get.

Next morning: Self-diagnose clear signs of sleep deprivation as being ADHD or ASD.
Next afternoon: Google a lot of stuff about neurodivergence but tell everyone you used Duck Duck Go.
Next evening: Look around Lemmy for comments to reply to with all the stuff just learned from Google, even if they're half a year old.
Next late evening: Remember to eat.
Next night: Stay up until 5am complaining about the man, anxiety, and ongoing struggles of a fried brain. Get 3 hours sleep.

Oh wow, you wake up early
i have found the phone's battery is a surprisingly good estimate of how i feel myself
For full verification: What exactly is the good kind of Linux?
Hannah Montana Linux.
I mean... it does end with "Linux", so yeah, checks out, approved.☑️
Edit:
An unpopular distribution of course.
Ideally, the CLI kind.
Needs to have Wayland and Systemd of course 👍
No systemd does too much so it's bloat and wayland breaks this script from 1993 so it's out too
Bring it!
TempleOS :p
Mint and/or Arch and/or anything other than Ubuntu, depending on who you ask
LOL, do you think OP was being genuine here, or taking the piss out of Arch users?
I'm sure they were joking. Definitely sure. Definitely they were probably joking. Surely. Maybe. Hopefully? R-r-right?!
It's weird to group Mint with Arch. I see Mint as the best intro for a Windows user, hardly similar to Arch.
I use Ubuntu btw. I don't care what anyone thinks, it's working great and that's all I wanted from an OS (yeah, looking at you Microsoft).
Where do you get the btw version? I only see the regular version on their website. Is this some sort of members-only version? I’d love to give it a try.
It's "Build Trigger Warning", aka experimental. It will likely break everything.
I'm squarely in the "anything other than Ubuntu" category
GNU/Linux-libre of course
You neglected: Call everyone to the Left of you a "liberal" before bemoaning the lack of solidarity on the Left.

Half of the Fediverse is just far left politics. You have to at least spend a few hours a day engaging in some internal infighting over something trivial or coming up with unhinged takes or calling everything a lib before patting yourself on the back for being a hard working revolutionary.
Alternatively, calling everyone tankie lol
does anyone know if pronoun cereals are sold in Romania?
i unfortunately dont qualify as a true fediverse user since i actually sleep (12 hours a day sometimes)
Ey! It's 3am in 10 minutes...
Well it's just past 3am now. You getting to bed yet or cutting into your 4.5hr of sleep?
I'm not awake, you are awake!
ayy 4am sharp. it's new year's tho so that doesn't count
