Which distribution should I recommend to beginners to scare them?

Gentoo obviously :
To install, easy just get this iso, with no GUI, then whip your hard drive, create partition, copy the Linux core, config your core based on the hardware technical details of every components you have and will use, compile it, add extra core drivers, compile them, add all the software you'll use to get a GUI (Desktop environment), compile them,. Now you can finally restart without usb stick! Add all the software, configure and compile them. And for every update of every software you may check the details to be sure it doesn't break your config.
Easy no? It just took you a month to get all the steps right!

Fun fact, I found in a box of my wife, a 10 years old super cheap drawing tablet, I cannot find the driver any where on internet, so i just pluged on my linux desktop, and it works ! And even better than my wife remember it did.
So there is no driver issue, when you have the community as a black up, thanks to the people making all those things working !

What starts with W and ends with T?

This joke is not feasible in French.

The word to translate "what" in a sentence is "quoi", but for this question we'll use the contraction "que + est + ce" (that + is + it) -> "Qu'est-ce qui commence par un W et termine par un T ?".

So we may say Q and E but caused by the contraction of the 2 E it doesn't end with a E in this sentence anymore.

Another way to say it, more literarily "Quel mot commence..." (what word starts...) but it breaks the affirmative way of reading.

To approach the English way : "Quoi commence par un Q et termine par un I.". Some child would fall into the question trap but no adult due to the fact that it's not a proper interrogative word, the questions you can do with "quoi" are : "quoi?" (what?), "De quoi tu parles ?" (what are you talking about?) and "À quoi tu penses ? " (What are you thinking about?).

Because, PDF is a container, like a fancy zip, the pictures saved in are kept in their original format, (JPEG, PNG/APNG, AVIF, GIF, JP2k, JPXL, BMP...) unless you add a step to re-compress the all document with image.
It's always slightly bigger than the original file.
