Unfortunately the "horror" that is windows persists almost as much as the horror of Linux. Which is a bunch of fanbois crowing about their distro without any explanation at all. But why do they do this? Because that's how they got into it, and that's how the people that got them into it got into it.

Which fucking distro should I use?
- Well, really it's just preference.

Then I choose arch.
- Uh, wrong try again lol.

Fair enough, Which fucking distro should I use?
- Well, really it's whatever works for you.

Okay, I didn't like the feel of that one.
- Well, you were using the wrong desktop environment.

😐😑😤😠... ...Which fucking desktop environment should I use?
- Well, really it's just preference.

🤬. 🤬🤬, 🤬. 🤬.
- Look clearly you don't know what you're doing just use Ubuntu, or Kubuntu, or Lubuntu, or Xubuntu, or Fubuntu, or Poobuntu, or Schmubuntu. And with cinnamon obvi.

Well how do I know? The site for each one uses the exact same bloviated claims. They're all feature rich, and lightweight, and extended support, etc. Do I have to install them all to find out?
- Yes but that's impossible. So just use mine, it works.

Until it doesn't. Then you need to hit up Linux self help forums, to get help from Linux bros, who are the most detestable group of unhelpful, impatient, and pretentious neckbeards imaginable. "Did you try searching first?" "Just use our discord!" "Just use [my fucking distro!]"
