    As a new user I tried all the “easy” distro and they all just fucked me over really hard, they favor ease of use by restricting the user so anytime I went to do anything I just kept running into repeated minor problems. When I tried endeavor it #just works and with snapshot software you can always rollback most distros as far as I know so there is no reason to not reccomend a Linux distro that doesn’t hold your hand unless there is something suepr specific the person needs that for some reason is the only thing capable of doing it reasonably well.

      Never ran into anything like that. I’m hungry for more details.

      It sounds you’ve never done that yourself. It’s not hard if you know what you’re doing, but it’s not trivial either and may require use of a boot stick, dealing with disk encryption through the terminal, chrooting… and that is not the kinds of hoops I’d expect a newcomer to have to jump through just to fix their system.
