“There are tons of Linux distros, some might say way too many Linux distros and if I’m being honest you shouldn’t be recommending most of those distros, not because they’re bad but because there’s basically no documentation.”

    As someone who uses Arch (btw) I would never recommend it for a beginner.

      I’ve heard that the Arch wiki is fairly helpful for people using other distros though. Haven’t made the jump quite yet. Trying to figure out what reasonably cheap monitor to get.

          While I do have an HP2000 from 2010, I also just built a gaming tower that has nothing but a BIOS. I just need a decent and fairly cheap monitor. Suggestions are welcome, as I’m somewhat lost as to whether a tablet or an actual monitor is the best solution here.

      On the other hand, Manjaro asked me to preserve contents of my /home partition automatically, and that used to be the most difficult part of my Ubuntu reinstallations.
