I just saw a DistroTube video with this question. Quite a thought provoking question [for this seasoned distroholic at least].
“What’s the hardest Linux distro you’ve tried?” can be interpreted many ways, and I wonder what kinds of answers we’ll get.
Especially these days, with much change underfoot and newer users having a different distrosphere to explore…
What’s the hardest Linux distro you’ve tried?
Starting with Suse in 2003, I found things by then already easy enough, and have not noticed any significant change in ease since. I think the hype of how much easier linux has gotten to install and use, is overblown (in significant part thanks to Ubuntu’s marketing claims). But then, depends which distros, like you say with “A lot of distros used to be a lot harder.”.
