Lots of people recommend Arch
Arch really is a hands-on distro. Installing it can feel like an accomplishment and a learning experience, but particularly when you have other people using the system, you might be better off with a less hands-on distro like manjaro (which is based on arch) or mint (based on ubuntu).
Mind you, even when using manjaro, you are legally not allowed to say “I use Arch, btw”.
Und um das entscheiden zu können, muss er/sie sich immer ein Bild der jeweiligen Situation machen, d.h. man muss ihn/sie beim Bettsport zuschauen lassen.
