Not sure if this belongs on /wsr/ but I figured Jow Forumsentoomen would know better.
I'm looking for a noob-friendly linux distro that isn't botnet. Any recommendations?

Gentoo
...
Mint Cinnamon/Xfce.
Manjaro
just about everyone starts on ubuntu, whether they admit it or not
fpbp
Windows 10 LTSC with WSL debian
Debian, might need to learn apt-get install but that's really easy to do.
>noob-friendly
>not botnet
Arch is both of those.
(As in, Arch is noob-friendly, and it isn't a botnet)
MacOS
Arch and Gentoo are good options for noobs. FTP'd my grandma an arch iso and she's been ricing ever since
don't fall for the botnet meme just use ubuntu
If you’re gonna install proprietary software anyway don’t worry if your distro is “botnet”
This. My 70 year old techno adverse Dad uses it because linux is the only thing that can run on that extremely old desktop of his.
your grandma rices? elaborate
thats exactly what the botnet would say
I'm also a noob and using arch right now and I love it.
I wouldn't recommend it as someone's first linux experience, but as long as you have toyed around with some out-of-the-box distro, it is a great choice.
I distro-hopped for a couple of months but I am sticking with arch.
Despite what people say about arch being for edgy kids and non-productive, I think it is more user-friendly than the popular distros and literally everything just works.
Ubuntu (any flavor) or derivate.
Don't believe to people who says Ubuntu is botnet, they are stuck in 2012 when Ubuntu was using with Unity and Amazon Launcher.
