    “I use ‘Arch Linux’” she said sarcastically. Why are Arch and Manjaro in quotes, but Ubuntu LTS and Linux Mint aren’t?

      And why is Arch more popular than Ubuntu? Surely SteamOS counts as something different, so it’s probably not that.

      I’m not a fan of Ubuntu, but it’s a very popular beginner OS, and I’d assume a lot of Linux gamers are lazy and use the thing that gets them into a game the fastest.

        I’ve had so many issues with Ubuntu in the last few years compared to other distros that honestly I wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending it as a beginner distro anymore.
