A new linux user will break their system. Thats part of the learning process. The queation is will they have the resources needed to fix it or will they be forced to reinstall.
These are the reasons i would sugest anyone to use an arch based distro like endevoros.
They only break if you dont update or you do something dumb
If the os breaks, or you need help with something, you have the best help resource avalible, the arch wiki. Along with a very large and often knoledgeable comunity. If you need help with ubuntu or a derivative distro, you often must serach the forum which have a lot of incorrect or outdated information.
Its easy to find packages on the avalible repos including the aur. No searching for ppas to install the packages you need to actaully switch off of windows.
The most imporant thing a new linux user should know about, is how many options they have with linux. This is linux’s greatest strength and it is not a one size fits all solution. Arch and its derivatives are great examples of this.
Also, i recomend new users use a multiboot with multiple distros and testing for themselfs.
Stop recommending arch and arch based distros to newbies. They break way too often for people who have never used Linux before.
