So going off the chalice in the movie, the distro that will save you from judgment is the plainest one โ the one with the least bloat? That tracks.

For as much as Linux nerds (myself absolutely included) complain about distros like Ubuntu and Manjaro, I'd still take either one over Windows or MacOS any day.
Mac OSX isn't bad... so long as you sell it your soul, and don't want freedom in return, it's great ๐.
I kid... mostly - it's iOS that is horrifying, but Mac OSX is still Unix (tho not GNU), so not anywhere within leagues of Microdick.
And - possibly dumb question - couldn't you always just run a Linux VM at near-native speed, and get the benefits of both?

That's all well and good, but can we talk about proper use of this meme template?
Shouldn't it be "further"? farther is for physical distance, further is for figurative/metaphorical distance.

Just setup Mint last night and have been troubleshooting how to get everything to work. So far I'm liking it. Last thing I setup was Lutris for gaming so that's nice.
Mint, judge me
PS anyone have any favorite resources for absolute tech illiterate noobs? I'm trying, but without a baseline understanding of the subject, it's hard to find the right guides

Just a humble Arch Linux user here
It's wonderful how the expression "humble Arch Linux user" manages to pack a contradiction in a mere 4 words.

Ubuntu: ๐ฎwhy?
For a lot of people Ubuntu is the linux. Canonical is just good at marketing. For all it worth, Ubuntu is not the bad choice for average user who's not into ricing and not bothered by bloat.
Manjaro: havenโt you managed to kill it yet?
I've been using Arch and Manjaro for couple years each and in my experience they both break regularly. But, for some weird reason, Arch Linux is praised, when Manjaro is shamed upon.
Mint: ex windows guy?
Aren't we all?
