I've never owned any Xbox because even Windows is too hyper-controlling for me.
(I game on Linux, of course.)
Linux user doesn't mention they use Linux challenge (impossible).
I bet it's arch (btw).
Arch is for newbies, real Linuxers use Gentoo (it's very comfy and let's me use anything and everything)
Would you say Gentoo is better than Arch for semi-newbies wanting to experiment with multimedia, coding and AI, with only few obstacles?
(I am one myself, looking to switch to a Linux distro on an old MacBook Pro soon!)
No.
Gentoo is mostly for people who like to have maximum control over their OS and custom compile software they use.
Even if you have a beefy hardware, updates will take some time, and unless you want to study the compile flags, you will end up with the same binary builds you would on any other distro.
Thank you for this useful answer. In this case, I guess e.g. Zorin OS, Pop!_OS or simply Mint would be better recommendations?
Yes, unless you actually care about compiling blutooth out of your packages (it's fcking everywhere, whyy), just go with anything else.
The beauty of Linux is that you can do everything in every distro. Nothing stops you from installing Zorin and putting Portage (Gentoo package/build manager) on it. But if you just want to use software as-is, just use whatever. Pop should have better nvidia drivers for cards they ship with System76, Mint is less corporate Ubuntu, Zorin I've never tried.
