I use Ubuntu already on all my installs except for the kid’s computer which looks like a virus made windows and then installed over another virus, and the wife’s PC.
Do you think that I could successfully win them over to Linux?
But yeah I’m thinking to move out of Ubuntu but I want debian or compatible. I want a simple Linux that does all my usual Linux stuff. Lots of people recommend Arch.
Arch really is a hands-on distro. Installing it can feel like an accomplishment and a learning experience, but particularly when you have other people using the system, you might be better off with a less hands-on distro like manjaro (which is based on arch) or mint (based on ubuntu).
Mind you, even when using manjaro, you are legally not allowed to say “I use Arch, btw”.
I suggest Manjaro. Debian’s always 5 versions behind, and Ubuntu’s ‘selling security’ - Fedora’s good though.

I didn’t think there would be so many. I’ve used knopix many times before.

If they are into gaming, Nobara is basically the best, no headache choice.
