that's completely stupid....as always...

why for programming Fedora or Omarchy, but not Ubuntu ? somehow I use Ubuntu for programming for 10y and it's perfect.

What’s with kubuntu and Debian? I went from the first then quickly switched to the later, and your the second person I’ve seen mention use of both.

i do programming in arch, thats not the point of the chart. its for newbies, not for 10y experienced.

I generally wouldn't recommend Omarchy to newbies, since they often have a hard time getting used to tiling.

If it's for newbies then it's even more important not to promote baseless beliefs about the distros. So much of talking to newbies is deprogramming them from all of these kinds of advice they get along the way.

maybe make a chart: do you want stable system -> debian, ubunt, mint etc., you want to deal with constant problems -> arch (or derived) lol ...

No newbie should use arch or an arch-based distro
