Kali Linux as daily driver
The kernel source code.
Make them use an old, abandoned distro.
Like Brazil's own Knoppix fork Kurumin.
Knoppix! I forgot that existed. Wow, what a blast from the past. I remember trying that out in high school. 3.2 or 3.3. Something like that. I just knew it took a long time to download via dial-up.
Alguém devia ressuscitar o Kurumin
Em espírito, eu concordo contigo
Olhando lógicamente, não teria sentido, já existem tantas Distros, metade das quais são só forks de Debian e/ou Ubuntu que mudam quase nada. :S
Nixos, Legacy of the greybeard.
Any BSD folk 'round here?
Former. Migrated to linux 20+ years ago because of...Flash support. Didn't realize back then how quickly Flash would disappear and FreeBSD only supported it via its linux binary compatibility, which stopped working at that time.
Yo.
Wouldn't recommend it for novices, but I've just never had a better server distro, they perfected it.
As long as you have compatible hardware, it's great. I didn't bother researching when I built a new server and ended up switching to debian since bsd didn't support my nic.
Not Linux, but 9front or that thing they wrap the gnu Mach kernel in.
Gentoo obviously :
To install, easy just get this iso, with no GUI, then whip your hard drive, create partition, copy the Linux core, config your core based on the hardware technical details of every components you have and will use, compile it, add extra core drivers, compile them, add all the software you'll use to get a GUI (Desktop environment), compile them,. Now you can finally restart without usb stick! Add all the software, configure and compile them. And for every update of every software you may check the details to be sure it doesn't break your config.
Easy no? It just took you a month to get all the steps right!
Gentoo is a little easier nowadays. It has binary packages and you can use any old Linux live CD you prefer to do the install :)
Ya there's Arch. There's NixOS. There's still Slackware.
But have you heard of 9front?
9front is useless. You won't be gaming or working with it.
Mostly, you'd learn how operating systems are constructed.
Or DoomOS or DoomLinux. It's a basic linux system where DOOM is the shell.
I forked this and tried to get it running. Learned some interesting things. Still doesn't work for me. :]

9front is not useless!
you can run catclock.
Hannah Montana Linux or Biebian
UwUntu
When I was first looking into Linux I asked the only friend I knew who used it and he unironically recommended me Arch...
A year later I actually gave Arch a try, but by then he apparently hated Arch and switched to Gentoo and I stopped asking him for advice at that point.

To scare them? Windows.
It's the absolute best way to make someone become a Linux user for life.:-)
NixOS:
Gentoo:
LFS
Brodie's beard is pretty yikes in this picture
Arch is fine... It has good documentation.
NixOS or Gentoo is probably my pick.
