I have no complaints about the OS itself and I really like the package manager. The wiki is lacking tho, which is not an issue 99% of the time cause I can still check archwiki, but its something to keep in mind.

Post-install was similar to Arch and fairly straightforward, except for having to set up logind

As far as wayland goes it works the same as on any other distro, nothing Alpine specific that you should look out for.

To be completely safe I'd just use a VM, if you think that is an overkill then I suggest Bubblewrap.

Me. I am a good sub😳.

I said some points about why Arch is good, but also difficult for beginners so I listed two of its forks and said a sentence or two about them.

On an unrelated note, strawberry is a bad choice of fruit to describe Arch distros, since they are usually in shades of blue.

The ordering is arbitrary, I did not think about the order as I tried to simply list things people may wish to consider when choosing.

I do not think I will be making a blogpost about advanced distros, I feel like people who want to use distributions like that (myself included) have the knowledge to decide themselves and there would be too many factors to consider.

My bad, I thought openSUSE was ran by SUSE, but you are right and it is simply sponsored by them, will fix it as soon as I can. I will also mention the rollback feature and then I guess I'll also mention timeshift for Mint.

Noted, will mention that arch docs are great regardless of distro once I have the time.

As far as beginner friendly goes I think so too, but I have seen people complain that they are too complex because of the way they are structured. E.g. the install guide will not directly tell you how to install a bootloader, but will tell you to install one and then link an article about bootloaders. I'll still edit the part about it and recommend it, people can decide themselves if they wanna use it or not.

Good point about the "stable vs rolling release". I will add a section about that once I have time.

Archinstall is great but also the wiki itself recommends manual install and I still think for someone who never touched Linux Calamares would be better.

Fedora is good, but the last time I tried using it it did not warn me about nvidia drivers and if I did not know of this I would keep using nouveau, which is something most new users probably don't want. It doesn't explain everything it is or isn't doing like Mint for example which asks you about updates, codecs and drivers. That's why I consider it easy to use whilst also not aimed at beginners.
