    I’ve edited my comment to explain.

    But to answer your question. No.

    Honestly it’s just a comment about 1 video I watched years ago. I didn’t expect this much of a response. I’m planning in pitting Linux onto my old laptop as a test soon so hopefully it will go well.

    Is arch an easy distro to use? I’m looking for something super simple to use. Also, is smth an acronym?

      Nope, it’s not very user-friendly but a great distro otherwise (and that’s why there are so many others based on arch which aim to be more user-friendly)

      Edit: i suggest Linux Mint or Cachy, if you don’t like them i suggest to also try this quiz: https://beta.distrochooser.de/en

      It’s ofc not perfect but it suggested me some distroes that i actually do like so maybe it can work? Some people also told me that they were suggested distroes they like so it could work i guess

      is smth an acronym?

      It’s a shorthand for “something”

        Worth noting that there really is not much point in using cachy over vanilla arch unless you have a zen 4+ cpu.

        Although I often feel like I am in the minority for preferring arch over cachy.

          Cachy is way easier to install, the installer offers a wide range of DEs and some other convenience stuff, it’s totally different to tell a begginer to install Arch vs Cachy
