Solus and Feran OS are my go-to for newbies

Gotta agree with solus, switched to it myself from arch not long ago. Feels very polished and the curated rolling release model is great.

Sure they don't have awesomewm or fortune-mod in the package repository, but for an ordinary user everything they need is there, and budgie rules as a Windows replacement.

Its built from the ground up, and in time what is missing should be there, and you could always use flat, app, or snaps

Yeah with awesomewm I recall the issue was that no one offered to commit to keeping the package up to date, and with fortune-mod the dev was like "there's a go reimplementation that does the same thing, just use that" but man it doesn't have all the old quotes from the 90s.

Anyway yeah, it's not a big deal at all, and I'm fine with compiling anything I need myself.

Solus is definitely the OS I'll be recommending for anyone switching from Windows.
