I want something that’s stupid easy to install, requires no setup, and has recording and gaming functionality from the beginning. I constantly see people shitting on ubuntu for semi-valid reasons, and I’m open to stable alterantives.
I’m installing it on this laptop :
NB : This is for mission critical etc laptop. This will be my only daily driver computer, stability is the topmost priority.
BONUS POINTS : If it’s debian based so I can run solarus : https://solarus-games.org/
Linux Mint is usually touted as being the most beginner-friendly Linux. Its UI is very Windows-like, it has a large enough userbase to have enough programmers to be able to have good configuration tools.
And of course, because it’s anyways based on Ubuntu, 95 % the support documentation for Ubuntu works for it as well.
Ubuntu-based of course means, it’s also Debian-based.
