        Honestly I found EndeavourOS to be a lot more stable than Pop_OS, but I thought that was just a me thing so I still recommended it to a friend who was trying out Linux for the first time.

        They ran into SO many weird issues and were just fighting with the Ui in general, Apparently Pop removed the option to make new text files using the right click menu?

        Eventually me and another friend just told them to switch to EndeavourOS with KDE since it’s what both of us were using and it’s been a lot smoother sailing since.

          i agree but i would like to say that with every new distro i have used especially in my earlier experiences have all been marred by instability and i now believe it to be less instability and more on the line of user error or non-intuitive systems. also being a tinkerer who likes to get in-deep also didn’t help although moving to arch has given me the flexibility i wanted so if someone is tech savvy im more than happy to say a arch based distros

    This is clearly the most beginner friendly.
