    I am unfortunately guilty of recommending niche “hipster” distros back in the day. Now I know to recommend the basics. Or just nothing at all so I don’t have to be unpaid tech support.

      The hardest part is that the solution is often: Use subpar *buntu based distro for a month or 2 then get good enough to use Arch or something based off of it.

      I’m really hoping that valve’s public release of Arch based Steam OS is good enough that I can just recommend that to people.

      I honestly like doing small tech support. Helped a friend setup and use Linux Mint
