"The first Linux distribution I ever seriously used was Red Hat 5.2 (prior to the creation of Fedora). Back then, it was the best option for just about everyone. It was also hard to learn. Fortunately, the Linux landscape is much different now, and there are distributions that are so easy, they make Windows look like it was created for Albert Einstein-level brains."
"The reason was that Fedora often required the use of commands. However, over the past decade, Fedora has slowly evolved away from that reputation to become something different. Like most Linux distributions, Fedora has a GUI for nearly everything, and I am now I think that one could use the OS without ever touching the command line. I would even go so far as to say that Fedora is now nearly as easy to use as Ubuntu."
Red Hat 5.2 served as an early, widely used Linux distribution but was difficult to learn. The Linux landscape has changed, with some distributions becoming extremely easy to use and others remaining challenging for system administrators and developers. Fedora and Arch Linux occupy the lower-middle range of difficulty: neither the simplest nor the most complex. Both distributions are often considered best suited for users with prior Linux experience. Fedora has evolved over the past decade to include graphical interfaces for nearly all tasks, enabling use without the command line and approaching Ubuntu-level ease of use. However, there is a slight catch.
