I like the sound of Arch, I tried it years ago but it was too much for me but it does seem to be where the nerds go, I was just saying that Endeavour could be a route for someone who as I said wants to "jump in with both feet", I didn't say it would be easy, just easier. For the average user I would recommend Mint/Ubuntu, Manjaro or MX. Manjaro is very polished, it now has a welcome app that allows you too choose your software bundle during setup which is nice [have to be online], some options are chosen by default, just remove all the ticks for a minimal install. MX looks and feels a bit dated but its rock solid and reliable with long term support. My Mint 20 installation came up with a message yesterday telling me that the ink was low in my Epson printer, I nearly fell off my chair lol.
I just posted some info aimed at Linux beginners here: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...le-for-many-people.78605/page-11#post-1615480
I have noticed printer and scanner support has improved greatly lately, it all just works and now this. One of the main reasons I did not switch to Linux earlier was the poor printer support, it was a nightmare a few years back.
If you don t mind being "Managed by the Organization". I was running MX a week ago, and I really liked it, but the devs have started to make mods to their update scheme, and one is to lock down updates for Firefox with enterprise policies. Apparently several distros are doing it now. It s not a big thing, but I didn t like seeing that stupid message every time I went into Firefox preferences. I brought it up on mx forum, and the devs seem pretty indifferent about it. Instead of talking about it they locked my threads. I switched to Mint a few days ago. At least they have nt started doing it yet. If the little things don t bother you then MX is a good choice for the first time Linux user, but from what I see Mint or Ubuntu is also.
give this one a try : iso.kanotix.com choose a silverfire flavour for writing the ISO to USB look here kanotix.acritox.com/content/live-usb-stick hint for KDE right click on the starter -> alternatives -> application-menu
A mis-spelling, perhaps ?? If this exists as suggested, it does not show in searching. Perhaps you might include a valid link to the fantastic, wonderful distro, please ??
For me it comes down to what will install on my dell. There have been several that hangs at boot, or the install freezes. Right now I m trying pop os, and it is pretty good. I can t seem to get cups to work, but other than that it is nice. The gnome shell extensions saved the day.
