Comments by "Gilad Barlev" (@GSBarlev) on "Stop Recommending Niche Linux Distros!" video.

  1. Nice call-back to the last video.

  2. Uwuntu, Biebian and Red Star OS.

  3. Garbage docs (and the fact that they seem to change their recommended CLI twice a year) is the reason I hesitate to recommend nix, even as a package manager, even though it's opened up so much for me on the Steam Deck.

  4. I disagree pretty strongly. I recommend elementaryOS, in spite of all your points about lack of documentation, because it doesn't need documentation—any guide written for Ubuntu, Debian or Mint will also apply to elementary. People like DT bad-mouth spins / flavors like elementary, Neptune, Ububtu Budgie, etc. because they're just other distros with some theming and configs. And, yes, that's the point. When the main thing standing in the way of someone adopting Linux is that the look and feel aren't to their liking, and there's a project that aims, for example, to be minimalist simplicity in a way that macOS hasn't been since it stopped being OSX, yeah, that's an easy recommend.
