I recommend Mint/Eos/Arch based on the willingness of thinkering. Cinnamon is easy and straight forward, KDE is not.

Hey you- you reading this, try talking to someone on the fediverse who's perspective you dont understand. Share what you think and try to understand what they do :)
We're all just here escaping the corporate dystopia. Reject the engagement-centric rage bait socialization we've all been handed and be curious about whatever weird belief system or ideology that internet rando has. We can build a different culture here, its not too late
Ya, except one time I mentioned something about having a hard time getting nurses at the long term care center I work at to work on Easter Sunday (instead of 2/3 of them calling out fake sick), because people will literally die if there's no staff there. I was dog piled by people saying 1. I am a corpo shill/capitalist slave-driver for expecting people to show up for their shift, and 2. Something, something, this is the fault of capitalism, communism is the fix.
Look Richard, if you put as much effort into finishing Hurd as you do trying to convince everyone to put GNU at the start of everything Hurd would get a release.

My defining moment of the fediverse is when I made a stupid joke asking about Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and was told the short answer was Capitalism.
Most of the post is geared more towards Mastodon/microblogiverse content, rather than Lemmy/threadiverse stuff. There's a lot of cultural overlap, but where they diverge, this post aims for the former.
Where do you get the btw version? I only see the regular version on their website. Is this some sort of members-only version? Iād love to give it a try.
Half of the Fediverse is just far left politics. You have to at least spend a few hours a day engaging in some internal infighting over something trivial or coming up with unhinged takes or calling everything a lib before patting yourself on the back for being a hard working revolutionary.
Un-ironically, Arch-based distros are solid now. I use Manjaro which means I'm dumb or something, but I've found it to be generally great. The AUR is a wonderful thing.

stop recommending mint to noobs and normies! EndeavorOS is stable enough for an average user, while offering the helping hand of ArchWiki and AURs.

Next morning: Self-diagnose clear signs of sleep deprivation as being ADHD or ASD.
Next afternoon: Google a lot of stuff about neurodivergence but tell everyone you used Duck Duck Go.
Next evening: Look around Lemmy for comments to reply to with all the stuff just learned from Google, even if they're half a year old.
Next late evening: Remember to eat.
Next night: Stay up until 5am complaining about the man, anxiety, and ongoing struggles of a fried brain. Get 3 hours sleep.

It's weird to group Mint with Arch. I see Mint as the best intro for a Windows user, hardly similar to Arch.
