I hate to be that guy, but that's where Linux is failing. "Oh, you used the most popular distro? That doesn't work. Try this one you've probably never heard of and will have a really hard time finding support for... It's the only thing that works on this exact date, and there will be a different answer next week." I'm not paraphrasing you - just my personal frustration.

I cannot deny that haha.

The options have pros and cons. Butnit can definitely be overwhelming to new users.

It's frustrating that many intermediate users get elitist and recommend more advanced distros to beginners as well.
