So I recently interviewed for a job that I did at a competitor. I was a team leader. I was a Senior engineer. I was going up against 300+ people for a single job and I didn’t even make it to the in person interviews. That’s how hard this market is right now. I have 10 years in the industry. And I can’t find a job besides a store clerk position at a grocery store.

There has never been a better time to switch to Mint, Pop_OS, or Bazzite.

You could just say Linux, lol.

We gotta stop upvoting distro-shilling.

Yeah, but which one? There are hundreds of distros. There's nothing wrong giving some pointers to begginers out there.

Right and people that don't know which distros to use will get lost

How are you supposed to get new people in without advising?

Try just telling someone that they need to switch to Linux with no other details. They'll either get confused/overwhelmed by choice, or possibly choose one that isn't user friendly and hate it.

People have to start somewhere, and I see no issue with recommending user friendly distros to get them going.

Yeah, went Mint 18 months ago. Started at MSDOS in the 1990s, ended at W10.
