~~Arch is most memy distro out there besides Hanna Montana Linux. It became that way because Arch is super hard to maintain in working condition and became a status symbol to use it in some circles. Now there are couple layers of irony vowen into this meme and I am not quite sure where we are right now.~~

I just checked steam hardware survey and now I am not sure. SteamOS is most popular due to Steam Deck, and with arch and ubuntu right behind.

Still whats popular is not always the best for starting out.

For begginers I would recommend Linux Mint. If you don't like the start menu or file menager ask in one of linux communities, they would be happy to help.

Appreciate the info thanks mate, I'm not really interested in using it tbh, I was just curious.

My PC gets used to play trackmania during boring meetings at work and not a lot else these days. Simple and easy with next to no thought or maintenance is what I'm after so windows is fine for me.
