hey nerds, I'm getting myself a new personal laptop as a treat, but I very much do not want windows 11 shitting it up. Is there a linux distro with caveman-compatible instructions for installation and use? I want to think about my OS as little as possible while actually using it.

I've got one friend who uses mint, but I've also seen memes dunking on it so who knows. I actually really only know what I've seen from you all shitposting in other communities

    mint

    • generally a solid choice

    • you have a friend who uses it! big advantage

    people who make memes about linux distros are in a lot deeper than you want to be. they have different goals.

      True for the friend benefit. Fun and useful to occasionally chat about it with someone who knows what's up.
