Well, if you're not going to go with Arch, might I suggest Gentoo?
(kidding... mostly...)
On a more serious note, Mint will run on most systems well, and Just Work for the most part, with the caveat that if you have really new hardware you might need to use a version with current Linux kernels (if they're still doing that, I'm not seeing it at the moment though).
The main downside is they keep to stable LTS builds, which means software is often a bit behind, but for most things, if you need the most up to date, there's always flatpak. The upside, though, is updates tend to not be as big or numerous or frequent as in a more up to date distro like Fedora or a rolling release like Arch. It also means updates are less likely to cause issues and your system is less prone to developing quirks.
Anyway, Mint is what I've been using, though I've also been using Fedora some at work... Both are solid, but I like Mint better. Could just be personal taste though so take that for what it's worth.
Unlikely, they'll probably be told "lmao just get a car" or something like that
The amount of car-superiority mindset here is unbelievable, and any attempt to improve non-car transport options or infrastructure gets met with strong public protest
Any lawyer who would work for him without requiring payment upfront and enough to retire on is a fool who isn't competent enough to practice law anyway and deserve everything they get
Probably more because of how easy it is to drink than raw strength... It's way easier to put away a bunch of 70 proof sweetened liqueur than the same amount of alcohol worth of 80+ proof hard liquor, very easy to not realize how much you've had until way too late
Is he though?
