Heh, I am sure that he would honestly listen to reason and not immediately just jump into one of the distros with the highest difficulty curves known to Linux users. ROFL Mint is just so cute, manageble for a first timer. NixOS, in comparison to Arch just feels like a time sink beyond measure, as you have to learn NixLang, very carefully declare everything. For a basic set-up, it doesn’t feel particularly painful, but when you open up the can of worms that is Dendritic Flakes, Flakes, etc. Oofta, I say just let someone else enjoy that fussy business.
To be fair, I use an Arch-based distro so most of the hard work was done for me…One day, I will enjoy the full Arch experience. ROFL But not right now while I am getting certified for Python or C, post certification is the best time for that task!
Day 2: I have discovered nixOS. This video explained me why its better than mint.
ROFL The scary distro that can take hours to implement, precise specific changes declaratively. Whereas, Mint is not a terrible little distro.
i would go on the barricades as hes not ready and if he does not listen i just tell him about FOSS he could try out
