because it’s pretty hard to recommend anything you don’t use. Seeking advice on a distribution in geek forums, therefore, is a losing plan right from the start. It’s smarter to install whatever you want and then come to the forums with your problems.
How about “I personally use this distro but it’s probably a bit much for you to handle. I hear Mint is beginner friendly so maybe consider checking their forum for advice.”
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.

“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.

Cachy btw
But distro C isn’t actually easy you should use distro F for a really good new user experience!
Lol

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