if your looking for something super beginner friendly, i would reccomend Mint (ubuntu based). if you want something slightly more work to learn, then EndevourOS (arch based, similar to manjaro), because it has Pacman and the Arch User Repository. both have good support and community, and many editions (different desktop environments preconfigured), i would recommend KDE or maybe Cinnamon (better for Mint), though it is not as big of a choice as distro (you can change DEs). KDE has a lot of awesome features out of the box, so its a great choice for beginners

as always, Microsoft is the biggest advertiser of Linux

ive heard of that, but ive never had that happen? stock firefox seems to load everything for me, but maybe its due to spoofing a chrome useragent, or bc i tend to avoid sites like that. librewolf with default setttings, or hardened firefox is admittedly pretty buggy for a lot of websites. i would say brave is an easy upgrade from other chromiums, for family members, but i still think stock firefox is alright for that too

good point. you can never be sure with pr*prietry software

you see johnny, your mum dying is actually just a demonstration of biology, quite marvelous. and your sadness is actually just psychology. isnt science wonderful

i hate to be that guy, but pick the right tool for the right job. use markdown for a readme and latex for a research paper. you dont need to create 'the ultimate file format' that can do both, but worse and less compatible

which markdown implementation tho ?

no, i mean legally, for food (at least in america). depending on how its prepared, it can be called fish (not just seafood). the fda is ''supposedly'' going to make a category for snails, for obvious reasons.
