That's fine for people on hn, but it instantly wipes out any chance of non technical users on Windows and Mac. It's a total deal breaker.
- rasmus-kirk 9mo agoI use Nix (the package manager), works on pretty much any distro and has the largest package set of any package manager.
- paddim8 9mo agoThat's why I don't think Ubuntu is a newbie distro. You never have to compile for source on arch-based distros. Obviously plain arch isn't fit for beginners, but I would argue that something like endeavouros or cachyos is easier to use than Ubuntu. If you want to install something, you just run one command, and then it is installed, 99.99% of the time.
