    “I heard distro xyz is really beginner friendly, i didn’t use it though so i can’t give you much advice on that.” is pretty simple.

    Maybe adding “…i’m using distro C btw” at the end if you truly want to feels important.

      What’s the value of this advice? You can google the same thing in about 2 minutes. People usually expect real-world experience.

        It gives people place to start with, and since you’re in that comminity you would very likely heard some recommendation. There were a time Google will recommend people PopOS where they’re undergoing changes that makes the OS so buggy to use and not user friendly at all, as a human person that participated or heard discussion about it, you will most likely tell new comer to steer clear from it. Google won’t do that.

        “Just google this” is definitely the worst way to treat people who just want an easy recommendation in a sea of choices.

        That’s alright, I’ve used them all. Don’t ask me about Fedora cause I will shit on Red Hat for the rest of my life. This also includes stuff like Bazzite by extension.

      Nah, adding “I use Arch BTW” is something you’re seeing in Reddit all the time. I found it hilarious, didn’t realize how literally it was taken here. I would add that actually I have used Mint for ages, but I don’t want to make you think that I want to feel important.

        That was mainly a joke, but i see it’s hard to tell from that tone, my bad.
