  • I’d suggest the KDE flavor of Debian, then. Its settings manager is divine, and its software management platform ties every other package management system in (apt/dpkg for Debian, yum for Redhat, pacman for Arch, plus flatpak, nixpkg, and even snaps if you absolutely must). By default starting in Plasma 6.0.

    More to @fmstrat’s point, and to suggest a possible cause your friend had that impression: if you install the Minimal flavor of any distro, you’re going to get a minimal experience.












  • My alphabet doesn’t go F, J, N, O.
    The page you linked has multiple tables and you need to refer to all of them to find the incremental alphabet mentioned above.
    Is it April in an even-numbered year? That’s an LTS and will be releasing sub-versions under the same name for twelve years.
    Is it April in an odd-numbered year? That’s a leapfrog fifteen-month release with no extended support.
    Is it October of any year? Eight months support, used as a preview/testing ground/stopgap for the following April’s big/small release (depending on the even/odd rule).
    Most people are only ever going to see Focal and Jammy and Noble.
