He's a regular shorthair. His ears swelled up from illness when he was very young, and they curled back. He's fine now, though his ears stayed that way. :)
Every distro sucks to someone.I tried Mint on one of my laptops, and it broke as soon as I installed any updates. It also didn't properly support the laptop's graphics.Manjaro installed perfectly and runs flawlessly. No issues.So, as always, different distros for different computers for different folks.
The best distro? One that he'll be able to use easily. One that will get him to actually LIKE the experience.You don't want to teach him a lesson by giving him a miserable experience.You want to teach him a lesson that will let you say "I told you so" for the rest of his life.Manjaro is pretty easy to use and seems to have good hardware compatibility. A variety of Ubuntu flavors also can mimic Windows and work really well.
You're not wrong, but there's also value in exploring different ways to do similar things. That's what's great about Linux.Some of Canonical's efforts may lead to failure, but that doesn't mean they are a waste.
