I got this one friend, a POS (Piece of shit) , who was always bugging me out for using Linux.

Yesterday I won a bet and I will be installing Linux on his laptop, what distro would teach that fucker a lesson?

    The best distro? One that he’ll be able to use easily. One that will get him to actually LIKE the experience.

    You don’t want to teach him a lesson by giving him a miserable experience.

    You want to teach him a lesson that will let you say “I told you so” for the rest of his life.

    Manjaro is pretty easy to use and seems to have good hardware compatibility. A variety of Ubuntu flavors also can mimic Windows and work really well.

        Every distro sucks to someone.

        I tried Mint on one of my laptops, and it broke as soon as I installed any updates. It also didn’t properly support the laptop’s graphics.

        Manjaro installed perfectly and runs flawlessly. No issues.

        So, as always, different distros for different computers for different folks.

          Yeah every distro does suck to someone but I’m hear to say Manjaro is indeed trash. And I love it. I switched to fedora now but I ran Manjaro for a good 3 years

    Gentoo, from scratch. No bin-kernal or premade binarys. Just a ungodly long compile time Maybe by day 3 he will have a desktop if hes lucky…

    NixOS, you need to learn a programming language just to administer your system

    I’d go with something based on Gentoo so you would have an easy install process and they would have to live with the pain of compiling from source.
