Yes sure. I guess it depends how often this will be the case. It is his first PC and it would be cool if he has a good experience with Linux. I don’t want him to loose to the dark side of the force if you get my drift :)

He wants this computer mostly for gaming and education. Zorin might not be ideal for gaming because it is based on stable Ubuntu and therefor not as up to date, if I am not mistaken.

It is actually the son of a close friend and neighbor of mine. He is 12 and gets his first PC in a few weeks. He wants it mostly for gaming, but he might want to learn more about computer later? Maybe learn programming or making music or whatever might peek his interest in the future. The good thing is I live next door and can help out if there is a problem. But on the other hand I want him to have a good first experience with Linux. I would love to have him some Arch based Linux distro if possible. But not if that means he has trouble with it all the time.

Yes, that is also my understanding. Thanks!

Is EneavourOS beginner friendly? Doesn’t it have the same problem with manual interventions than Arch?

I want this as well, but it will never happen.

Usually insurance companies don’t pay for vandalism I think.
