    Remember the golden rules for those seeking enlightenment.

    Older hardware?
    Mint

    Newer hardware?
    Fedora.

    Literally only gaming?
    Bazzite

    And remember to educate them about the concept of Desktop Environments.

    If they aren’t overwhelmed, share some possible future “upgrade” paths like CachyOS, Debian, etc.

      Just putting a word in for OpenSUSE. I’ve been happily using Tumbleweed, their rolling distro, for years now on several different machines.

      Bazzite doesn’t prevent you from doing anything that isn’t gaming, tbf. It’s pretty much all I use now, for gaming or otherwise. I actually like using distrobox to set up dev environments.

      Older hardware? Mint

      Mint requires 1GiB minimum to be usable, as do any Canonical clones, and dropped support for 32-bit (or will soon).
      So for older software go for TinyCore, Puppy, Porteus or similar.
