    Do not go to Arch Linux if you are a Windows user though. I made that mistake 2 years ago. It is a Distro for experienced Linux users.

      Gentoo Linux is another distro that beginners should avoid.

      I’d also say OpenSUSE is better if you’ve been using Linux for a couple years first. It has quirks.
