Or just shop around. Its free and its better than windows
Also a raspberry pi with raspian is a great place to start for cheap. https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/
This is a very bad framing. We (as a group) need to stop ranking distros based off ease of use, and start considering actual use cases.
For example; I would never use Arch for anything I use to make money. Rolling distros aren’t well equipped for absolute top level reliability that I’m looking for to do my job or run my servers.
It is, however useful for people who love to experiment, want the bleeding edge of software, and are less uptime dependent.
Furthermore, kali is built almost purely as a pen testing environment, and not for generic use.
Great points.
But i feel like they apply more to people who are already using linux. For those struggling to make the switch i would argue ease of use and familiarity are key. Mint and ubuntu are a great place to start.
You are right though.
