I have heard good things about nobara. I don’t mind doing a little thinkering to have things work but I also don’t want to spend hours doing recharch on how to fix things.
Edit: thanks for giving input everyone. I will try Linux mint and if it does not go well will give nobara a go instead.
I strongly disagree with this. I’ve learn to program with C (pure C), and I lost so much time with that language’s cruft and idiosyncrasies. Python is a much better tool to teach programming concepts.
