There are millions of Linux distros. Why isn't there a single one that's good for beginners?

Base it on Debian, the de facto Linux standard.
Cut the freetard crap and ship the proprietary codecs and drivers everyone needs anyway out of the box.
Make KDE default.
Let users install it by clicking "Next".
Publish a major release once every 2 years, with software version upgrades twice a year.
Ship it with Firefox, Thunderbird and LibreOffice.
Don't give it a retarded name. Avoid naming it after cartoons or animals.
Don't do whatever OpenSUSE is doing with their package management.
Boom, instant 70% Linux market share! Was that so hard?

KDE sucks. XFCE is superior.

Install Gentoo. That, or learn LFS.
Alternatively the best thing you'll get out of the box with low maintenance is Debian.

Use Artix then.

Amazing how those fags can't fix basic install script for few years... How was that shit even accepted in the main repo.

Rebecca spending time on her code of conduct and Baljeet shitting up the code are the reasons why Linux distributions will never recieve mainstream acceptance

There comes a certain point where it is a genuine skill issue. Some of you fucks were simply not built for this. And that's okay. I just don't get why you all don't want to admit it.

ftfy
you don't want a "beginner"-friendly distro otherwise you would use any of the distro in your list but you refuse because it involves EFFORTS on your part.

the best format is Fedora's. 2 releases a year and very up to date packages with enough room for testing that its not a rolling release.

Fedora needs to enable all rpmfusion repos by default, add a step in the installer to configure dnf.conf for max parallel downloads and fastest mirror selection, also include ffmpeg codecs non free with the install (not even as an option in the installer but by default).

If fedora did this they'd be a newb friendly distro and could attract more users but its freetard philosophy prevents it from doing this.

That's not a beginner issue anon, almost nothing you have talked about makes any sense to someone just looking to install Mint and use a functional computer which is what Mint is designed for and what it does.

It's not about what I want. I daily drive Debian.
But if your OS requires EFFORTS, you've already lost 98% of all users.

Plebs need to accept the fact that standardization can only be achieved by us big brained economists. We are capable of adopting solutions that produce the largest benefit to the most amount of people. Narcissist tranny code monkeys are not.

That's Sparky Linux. Fairly niche but is technically what you're asking for. It's up to you if the name is retarded or not. There're military equipment with worse names IMHO.
