> What distros do you feel have a poor experience for new Linux users?

I've had blocking problems with these 3: ElementaryOS, Ubuntu, OpenSuse. The problems include:

- Crash reports every 10 minutes - Segmentation fault error or something when opening the notifications section - Bricking my USB stick - Poor rendering in remote desktop - OS crashing unexpectedly and not starting at all afterwards - Noticeably poor performance for all apps (going full-screen for browser videos happens in 1 second and you see it freeze, in windows it's instant) - Desktop freezing if I press keys too fast (opening and closing the Ubuntu Dash menu quickly). Forced to restart the machine - Visual glitches during every boot - I don't remember now, but the list goes on

1. I bought a laptop that had an NVIDIA RTX 2060 when they had only been out for a while. The LTS version of Ubuntu + Pop_OS didn't have the kernel updates with compatibility, so I had to upgrade kernel from the boot menu. 2. I connected two external monitors, one through HDMI and one through DisplayPort <-> USB <-> HDMI. I wanted to have one monitor vertical and one horizontal, I could not get it to work with a mix of vertical and horizontal layouts with 3 screens -- only with 2 screens.
