I mean like awareness that, just under the surface, there are deep explorations waiting for the right time and place to emerge; things you’ve set aside or placed on the back burner but will tackle eventually/many you already have tackled.
Are you deeply self aware of these interests like some kind of list? If so, are these interests deeply connected in your mind to your past explorations and interests like some kind of road map or branching tree structure of thought?
Distro recs? I’m like @The_Picard_Maneuver insofar as it’s something I think I’ll get around to one day, but I’m not in IT and want something super stable.
Usually the most common recommendation for new users is Linux Mint.
That’s definitely on my radar, I was just wondering what they had given their family.
Linux Mint is great for ultra-noobs, but I’d personally setup Debian for a super-stable computer, and nowadays it’s really not that hard, so that would be another option.
I have installed Arch Linux in some of those computers tho, and I’ve had no issues too; but well, the install process is not for the newbie.
Thanks, that’s interesting.
I might be able to deal with a bit of a learning curve, used to run Redhat in a partition but it was decades ago.
