I'm curious to hear thoughts on this. I agree for the most part, I just wish people would see the benefit of choice and be brave enough to try it out.

I have a solution to this I use. If asked I just tell people to use Kubuntu. You might pick a different distribution, I choose Kubuntu for a variety of reasons.

"What linux should I use?"

"Kubuntu".

No other options given or discussed.

It's my "official linux" even though I no longer use it personally.

Now you just have to do the same. Pick your own official linux that's going to be the only one you tell people to use in real life.

Maybe in a few years they'll decide to distro hop once they understand more, but right here and now they want one answer.

This is also the distro I tell others to use, it's what I started on and I enjoy Linux now.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
