Actually Good Distro Recomendations for Beginners
reggie.re

I grew tired of shitty “Top 10 Linux distros in ${CURRENT_YEAR}” articles so I wrote a blogpost, that I would personally consider helpful when I was starting out, so I can simply link it to people when they ask my opinion on a beginner distro.

Objective criticism is welcome and encouraged.

    Great post, I would tend to put them in a different order but it’s a good list to start with. Next post should be on distros for those users to try who feel they’ve mastered the beginner distros and want a challenge or more customization.

      The ordering is arbitrary, I did not think about the order as I tried to simply list things people may wish to consider when choosing.

      I do not think I will be making a blogpost about advanced distros, I feel like people who want to use distributions like that (myself included) have the knowledge to decide themselves and there would be too many factors to consider.

        I think you’d be surprised how many people still want to read about others’ experiences with non-beginner distros and which ones present challenges or features that they’re looking for while choosing a distro.
