As someone who uses Debian everywhere - it's just the opposite end of the spectrum from Arch for (non security) updates. Getting any OS into a bad state is trivial if your not paying attention. I still don't understand why they make a rolling release version.

I or others can go into more detail, but I'm guessing you do not want a super in depth answer?

One of the major cloud providers (aka renting a chunk of a data center) has a outage in the us-east-1 region. Because of internal dependencies on us-east-1, when that AWS region (aka data center) has problems it impacts service's across all AWS regions. To end users, suddenly web sites will act strange, crash, or just not work as elements of their backend are having problems. Due to the raw size of AWS, when something like this happens vast swaths of the web will break.

The requirement for everything to have a ground wire is fairly new in the scheme of home construction. Depending on when the house was built, and depending on if everything up to now was done to code, would impact if it's there.

See I just like LMDE. Everything works without fiddling (I want my OS to be boring). And if I feel spicy - backports.

Also...

  1. everything is changeable. But not everything should be changed.
  2. There will come a time when you need to interact with the command line. This is expected, and no you did not do something wrong.
  3. Have fun.

Oh if your looking for a distro? Mint is a great entry point (and even can support crusty old graybeards as well).

Fair. And short of someone publishing a study I doubt we will ever know what the best entry point is. So, advocate the atomic distros, I'll advocate the crusty old dinosaur that moves (slightly) faster then molasses. And someone else reading this thread can recommend one of the rolling distros. At the end of the day to me the importance bit is that someone is interested in Linux as a whole.
