    I think that’s what makes it good for beginners: it’s a lot like a mobile OS. There’s an “app store” where you get your programs (bazaar/flathub) and OS updates just happen automatically. Once you find yourself wanting to tinker then hopefully you’re confident enough to start installing “normal” distros.

    I’m being a little facetious to highlight that your “operating systems distributing Linux Kernel, therefore they are Linux distributions” comment is a bit silly.

    Yes technically Android and ChromeOS are Linux, but that’s not really what people mean when they say Linux. It’s not the Linux kernel specifically that they want, it’s usually the freedom and openness.
