I've been having a lovely day installing the lunixen on the new laptop, and I'm hereby revising my recommendation list for Linux distros:

I'm a normal person and I want to get some work done: getaurora.dev/
I'm a normal person and I like to play video games: bazzite.gg/
I'm someone who has Opinions about Linux: manjaro.org/
I was there when the deep magic was written: archlinux.org/

That's it. That's the entire list. No need for more.

Specifically, I'm no longer recommending Mac refugees try Elementary, having now tried it myself this side of the oughties. For the same reason, I'm now actively advising against Linux Mint, and any other distro whose touchpad settings default to "Natural Scrolling", you disgusting perverts.

The ultimate productivity workstation, stable and streamlined for you.
