I haven’t kept up with that clown but if that’s a reference to the time he attempted to switch, that was a top-gear-like slapstick show, consisting of making wrong turns at every fork and having outliers galore in the form of some hardware he and one other dude on the entire planet got. that show of his is infotainment, as in not a reliable source of information.

you go with the beginner-friendliest distro, with the widest distribution which is ubuntu. that ain’t the distro I’m running, but it’s something you need to go through to figure out how this shit runs. after you’ve been around the block a time or two and you start bumping your head at the ceiling, you’ll have enough experience to switch to something better.
