we're in a meeting to plan the inclusion of new interns. They don't have that much experience on linux but all our development is on linux:

me: So we'd need to setup up their computers, keep in mind they don't have experience on linux

coworker: gotcha, i'll do it.

**proceeds to install arch-linux**

    IMHO Ubuntu/Debian would be worse for dev, because they both ship with deprecated versions of several runtimes.

    @metamourge yeah but for inexperienced people, arch is not a good option. It's like pushing someone who has never skied on an expert trail... not the best way to introduce you to the joy of skiing.

    I started with Fedora, then Manjaro and now Mint. I think it's not that bad being _forced_ to use the terminal probably helps them to not use some gui fallbacks all the time.

    That awkard moment they realize half the guis they're using are actually just starting cli processes in the background.
