    If you just want something that works, try Linux Mint or Pop!_OS. These will give you a very easy experience - they come with a guided installer that will give you a system with a GUI, most things are handled in a GUI, and breakages should be rare.

  3. Linux From Scratch (LFS) is a project that provides you with the steps necessary to build your own...
    If instead you want a full understanding of the system, have a look at Linux From Scratch. I wouldn't recommend it as a daily driver, and especially not as a first distro, but it's good as a learning exercise.

  4. You've reached the website for Arch Linux, a lightweight and flexible Linux® distribution that tries to Keep It Simple. Currently we have official packages optimized for the x86-64 architecture.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    If you want more up-to-date software (at the cost of more breakages), try Arch. Its install process may seem daunting, but if you follow the tutorial (and remember that it's a wiki, if you're unsure about something, it's probably a link that you can click), you should be fine.
