This is definitely not a Shitpost. Pick a Linux distro and advertise it for me.

(wanted something else than Ubuntu or Mint for my laptop that BinBos destroyed)

    Arch

    • Minimal or powerful, according to your needs.
    • AUR.
    • Do you distro-hop? After fully configurated Arch, you will never sense that need again. And you will learn a bunch of things about how every Linux system works.
    • Community-driven, none of that Red-Hat like crap will never happen until it exists.
    • AUR.
    • Rolling-Release, relatively bleeding-edge, with no big updates broken concerns.
    • Pacman.
    • The best! - Click the link if you don’t believe.
    • Did I mention AUR?

      Any suggestions for a first time arch user installing it on a second SSD in my existing system with Windows 10? Do I need a boot efi partition first when setting up partitions? I plan disabling secure boot so I can use reFind for my boot manager

        That was exactly my setup before I erase Windows 10, except that I use GRUB, not reFind. Yes, you will need a EFI partition, normally located in /boot or /boot/EFI. You won’t need to disable secure boot if you use some tool to create your own keys, only in installation secure boot has to be off. For that matter I use sbctl.
